Help Earl Johnson During His Recovery

 
On February 8th in the early morning hours, our friend and co-worker Earl Johnson suffered a catastrophic fall on his way to work at the Dawson Mine/Mill which resulted in a broken hip.

He was transported to Klawock where he was stabilized, then medivaced to Ketchikan for further treatment and subsequent hip replacement surgery.

Surgery went well and he is now on his way south to recuperate at home in the care of his family. His recovery is far from over and he has a long road ahead till he's back on his feet. He won't be able to return to work for quite some time, which will place undue
hardship on him and his family. 

We set up this GoFundMe account to raise money to help cover the out of pocket costs related to his accident,  his medical treatment and travel not covered by insurance and living expenses until he is able to get back to work.

These costs are already accumulating. 
 
Earl is highly thought of and well known here on Prince of Wales, living in our community for many years, having worked for Tyler Rental in Craig and more recently here at the Dawson Mine in Hollis. We miss his quick smile and easygoing ways here at the Dawson and are eagerly awaiting his return to our “Mine Family.”

Most importantly, we want to show Earl how important he is to us by reaching out financially to help during his long road to full recovery!

 This is our chance to give our friend, neighbor and co-worker a helping hand and show him how much we love and appreciate him!

Please continue to keep Earl and his family in your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
