Hi! My name is Kristina Harrison-Antell, and I'm here to ask for your help with my good friend, Katrina Tiensvold. On March 12, 2023, her husband, Wade Tiensvold sustained a catastrophic spinal cord injury, while on a trip with his brother. While away from his home, in Billings, Montana, the accident occurred outside of St. George, Utah. He was emergency airlifted to St. George Regional Hospital, where he had emergency surgery. He was released from the Intensive Care Unit and admitted to the Neuro Specialty Rehabilitation Unit. Tragically, this accident has left him paralyzed from the chest down, which means that Wade and his family will have to deal with the effects of this accident for the rest of their lives.

In addition to devastating emotional pain, this tragedy will place a huge financial burden on Katrina and Wade. From Care Flight, to emergency surgery, ICU Care, Nursing care and extensive Physical Therapy, to insurance co-pays, loss of income, out of pocket expenses, to retrofitting their home to be handicap accessible.

Please join us in raising funds to help these amazing people, through this incredibly difficult time. Katrina and Wade will be grateful for any support. Thank you in advance for your help!
