Hello everybody so on January 16, 2020 my dad was out at the desert jeeping/ off-roading with friends in the Superstition Mountains. They were out on a night ride and he went went off a drop off that he didn’t see coming. His Jeep went head first plowing strait into the ground then flipped onto the roof, he was wearing a seatbelt but we believe his head smashed into the steering column or hit the roll bar. His friends cut him out of the seatbelt and immediately called Life Flight. He was taken to the hospital where they put him under a medically induced coma because his brain was swelling. He injuries included swelling of the brain and a laceration, 5 broken vertebrae on the neck/ spine, and broke all the bones around his left eye. They had to remove a piece of his skull (to be put back in later) to reduce pressure on his brain. He will have to go through intensive rehabilitation to learn how to talk and eat and more all over again. He did not have any insurance and me and my siblings are trying to keep up with all the bills so we don’t lose the house. His medical bills will be through the roof not to mention his rehab so I’m asking for help. If you don’t know my dad already let me just tell you he is the most generous, kind hearted person. He has helped so many people in his life and always gave whatever he had to give, but now he is the one who needs help. It’s time for all his good karma to come back to him. So if you can donate anything, please help.
