Jay Stevens & Stand for Spinal charity

Hi, my name is Jay Stevens.

On the 17th of May 2022, I was involved in a Mining workplace accident that resulted in me breaking my neck and changing my world forever.

Gratefully, I have been supported by my friends & family through this journey, including everyone who donated to the previous GoFundMe setup (thank you Jodie), which has now expired. This has helped me hugely during my time in hospital & once I was able to return home.

After hearing of this event (again, very grateful, thank you Ben ‘Mates in Mining’) I was asked to create another to allow for donations around this event to be donated to me and the charity I am starting ‘Stand for Spinal’.

Stand for Spinal is a non-for profit charity. I’ll be using the funds generated to help get the charity off the ground. Ultimately, my dream for the charity is to one-day, provide people that have been less fortunate than myself access to essentials such as; vehicles and equipment, to make their journey a little easier. Additionally, funds raised will be donated to the ongoing research into repairing the spinal-cord.

So thank you!

A final note.

We all have our busy lives, we all have our conceptions & beliefs, we all have our commitments, but so does everyone else. When you notice that times are tough for others or someone isn’t doing that great, check in physically, It could be the difference..

A message is nice, but giving your time and physical energy to people you care about or know is much more attentive. Even when you feel you are too busy or lacking the energy to give. What if it were you unfortunately going through that adversity?

Check on your mates✌️
