Support Jonathan Nation's Recovery
Donation protected
We started this GoFundMe for Jonathan Nation, Melissa Nation’s husband, one of our clients, and close small business allies who suffered a significant on-the-job injury on August 1st.
Jonathan took the big leap and started his own plumbing business (My Plumbing Heroes) in 2023. If you know Jonathan, you know he is an "all in" kind of guy. Which means he’s spent the past year hustling his tail off trying to get his business off the ground.
My Plumbing Heroes has been pretty busy over the summer with long work days often 7 days a week. Jonathan enlisted his daughter Victoria to help over the summer break, teaching her the ropes of the family business. By all accounts, it’s been a great, busy summer.
On August 1st, towards the end of a long day, Jonathan was wrapping up a job that required him to be on the high-side of a 25’ ladder. Unfortunately, Jonathan would take a fall from that ladder (16 feet+) that could have cost him his life.
The fall resulted in Jonathan hitting a number of cast iron pipes that were protruding from the ground. The impact resulted in a number of broken ribs high on his back.
The injury will leave Jonathan bed-ridden for a number of weeks and unable to effectively work for at least 6 weeks.
For a small start-up business, this is the worst possible thing that could have happened.
All existing jobs are either on-hold or lost and his ability to finalize existing work has been significantly impaired.
We started this GoFundMe to help offset lost earnings while Jonathan recovers. Our target goal of $3k is pretty conservative in contrast to the tens of thousands of lost business and income.
Thank you for helping out an RtB Legion family member in need.
