Rob's Recovery Fund

Hello,

Our friend Rob was in a life-threatening motorcycle accident in September. Rob and his wife Rita are not ones to ask for help, but they are now and we are here to answer the call. Currently, Rob is in the hospital listed as a paraplegic, but in his words "FOR NOW."

Rob is amazing the staff at the hospital with his strength and determination every day. He says this accident didn't break him, but put him back together. He knows the road is long, but he is ready to start the journey back.

Rob has worked as an editor and photographer for Fox 2 for more than 20 years. He has always been one of the go-to guys. His passion for his work is beyond inspiring, it will be done to the best of his ability every single time. Rob has been trusted with some of the biggest shows/specials produced by the station.

Rob and his family (wife and two daughters) are going to need to make some serious modifications to their home, including adding a ramp, updating bathrooms to be wheelchair accessible, possibly widening doorways or hallways, etc. Additionally, the family will need a new vehicle that is reliable and fits a wheelchair. Rob says eventually when he gets full arm and hand mobility back, he would like it to be outfitted with hand controls so he can drive to work.

Most people in his situation might just give up, not Rob. He is determined to do all the work to first use his arms again and come back to work and edit the local news and second, be the guy who came back from being listed as a paraplegic and walk again. If anyone can do it, Rob can and we are all here to love and support him and the family. Let's show them they are not alone and raise enough money to pay for the home modifications and vehicle.
