Help Lionel West
Donation protected
Hey everyone, on Saturday May 20th Lionel competed in the APA Can-Am Powerlifting Championship in Brattleboro, VT. He competed in the 308 soft equipped bench class and went 3 for 3 hitting an APA National record 625 pounds on his 3rd attempt.
After leaving the meet Lionel and I left in separate vehicles. Three miles down the road from the gym, in torrential rain, Lionel got into a head on collision totaled his corvette and ejecting him from the vehicle gashing open the back of his head, fracturing 4 vertebrae in his neck, his hip, his pelvis and bruising his liver and kidneys. He was brought to the Brattleboro hospital then transported to Dartmouth. Right now he is in an induced coma in the ICU for the next few days then he will be going in for surgery.
Anyone who knows Lionel knows he’d never ask for help so I’m doing it for him and Sarah because we love them. He’s not just my best friend, he’s my brother and uncle to my kids. He has a long road to recovery physically and financially along with day to day bills at the house for Sarah and the kids. Lionel is one of the most loyal people I know and would give anything to help his friends and family so let’s do the same for him. Every dollar counts during this trying time and every single dollar is appreciated.
