Dewey and Shannon

This July 2018, my brother was struck down by an abscess pressing on his spinal chord that rendered him paralyzed from the neck down. It was sudden, fast and devastating.  Dewitt and his wife Shannon were just expanding their business of artisan blacksmith works and had a months worth of back orders and a new beautiful workshop. He is lucky to have had some good recovery, but is not longer able to work. As usual with these life events, medical bills come and on top of this they were forced to refund all of their pending orders. Estimated loss is around $14,000 and they no longer have any income as they were both working full time on HammeredForge. Dewey has been approved for Disability but it won't start until February and will only cover a fraction of their living expenses. I am reaching out for them seeking some temporary relief. We all know Dewey and Shannon as hardworking folks and loving and supportive parents who have always given more than they have received. Dewey’s recovery is ongoing and by strong will, big love or miracle he can now walk short distances. We are grateful for this and grateful for all the support he has received.

Help them out if you can. Thanks for you time.
