Help the Wade Family
Donation protected
On September 12, 2020 Frank Wade was brutally struck over the head while at work. The blow caused a 4 inch laceration that went straight to Frank's skull. Frank did his duty and reported the incident to HR so he could receive treatment. The HR representative, with no medical training, promptly told Frank there was no way he had a concussion and denied him help, dismissing him and sending him to deal with his injuries on his own.
Frank, a dedicated father, avid hunter and distinguished military veteran had no idea his world, nor his life, would never be the same again. Kansas is 46th worst in the nation for workmans compensation Healthcare and needless to say Frank's employer and their insurance company have lived up to the designation.
Because of the lack of care, Frank's health has DRASTICALLY changed. He and his family have had to choose between getting him the care he deserves and the medicine he desperately needs and putting food on their table, electricity and water in their home, and shoes on their feet. Since this is a work related injury, Frank's insurance wont cover his testing or his care. The Wades have initiated a lawsuit against the employer, who has claimed that Frank's symptoms were from his military career. While the family can EASILY disprove this, workmans comp is doing what they always do, waiting them out. The Wades had to sell their dream home, in an attempt support their growing family. Finley, 3, has multiple severe allergies to foods and goods, requiring a special diet. Forest, 11 months, luckily did not follow in his beautiful sisters footsteps and is one happy dude. When that money ran out, they had to resort to credit cards.
You see, Frank hasnt been able to work since 2022, leaving his beautiful wife Bree Onna to try and carry the load. The injury his employer said was nothing has been progressive. Frank, who originally only had headaches and issues swallowing, now suffers from intermittent explosive disorder, major depressive disorder, frequent sleep infractions, Balance issues, extreme anger and anxiety, sensitivity to light and sound, severe migraines and neuro fatigue. This last one means Frank, a previously extremely active sports and outdoor enthusiasts cant do basic tasks longer than 10 minutes. This injury has turned Frank into a completely different person.
Since Frank's employer and their insurance company have turned their backs on him, please think about giving what you can to help support this beautiful and faithful family.
