Support Dave Cottrell During His Medical Recovery
Donation protected
I've known Dave Cottrell for a number of years. He loves his friends, his family, his dog, live music, gardening, and the outdoors. He is always there with a smile and a helping hand whenever he is able. Unfortunately, life changed suddenly for Dave recently when an infection settled in his spinal cord. He woke up paralyzed from the waist down and called a friend to take him to the hospital. He has had two surgeries since including insertion of a 12-inch steel rod to support his spine. We are all hoping for the very best outcome, but he has a long road ahead of him no matter what. In the meantime, his mortgage and bills are still due and the medical bills are mounting. He has enough stress without the added stress of potentially losing his home in Cottage Grove.
If you are able to help, please do.
