Fighting for AUSTIN PLUMLEE!
Donation protected
I'm starting this fundraiser for a family friend who I consider my brother. Yesterday around 4pm we got a message that no one ever wants to get when you are close to them or even long lost friends. We were informed that Austin Plumlee was airlifted to Springfield hospital after being in a serious accident. He was headed home from work and hit a semi truck head on going 105mph. Instantly we swallowed our hearts as it sunk still not knowing if he was even alive. Due to Covid we have not taken off to Springfield to be with him or his family. They are only allowing one family member at a time go back and when you don't even know if he will make it that is hard to except. Austin is still in VERY CRITICAL danger and fighting for his life. He will be in the hospital for months if not a year. He has had two surgeries already and will have many, many more in the next few days, weeks.
To give everyone a picture of why we are asking for so much to start is because of the extent of his injuries. He is sedated and on a breathing machine, He has 2 spots broken in his neck, one in his spine, all broken on the left side from shoulder to ankle. Couple facial fractures, and 2 small brain bleeds. They had to remove all the bone from the knee cap and the tissue, every bone in his face is fractured and a broken nose. He is responsive and so far no neurological damage THANK GOD, but he is still fighting for his life. He will need so many surgeries and as everyone knows that is expensive. This is all we know so far and could have more issues later down the road. All funds will go to family and will ONLY be used for Austin and his family.
So we are asking if anyone can donate to help with Austin's bills as he will be in the hospital and no way to work and pay for his home, to help feed his dog while he is away, to help his family with gas who lives in Arkansas and has to drive back and forth so they can still work but also be there for Austin, help with food and hotel rooms as they will stay close incase something happens someone will always be able to be close by, and of course help with his hospital bills. He is going to need physical therapy, medications etc. I know this is a hard time for everyone but I know and anyone who knows Austin he would give the shirt off his back to help anyone who needed help. So even if its a $1 please share this and lets get them some help so they can focus on Austin and not the bills... If you cant donate please again share this everywhere so we can continue prayers and have a prayer chain going for him and his family!
