Hey y'all.... A Freak Accident Changed Everything!! Please PLEASE help If You Can
This past weekend, something happened that shook us all.
While out on the road, my bass player Ricky who if you met him you love him one of the most genuine, kind-hearted people I know jumped off a pier into the water, right after me. Something so simple. So normal. Something any of us might do without thinking twice. But in a freak accident, he hit just wrong and shattered his fourth vertebra. He had to be life-flighted to the Mayo Clinic, hours/states from home, where doctors performed emergency surgery. By some miracle, the surgery was successful he’s not paralyzed. But the road ahead is going to be long and incredibly difficult.
He’s a new dad. His fiancé is now facing the impossible: trying to care for their newborn, work enough to keep the lights on, and be there for Ricky as he begins this intense recovery states away! He doesn’t have health insurance. He can’t work. He won’t be able to play music or do much of anything for quite a while.
This wasn’t some wild stunt. It was just one of those random, terrifying moments that reminds you how fragile life can be. And NOW this beautiful little family needs our HELP!
If you can donate, please do. If you can’t, a share or a prayer means the world. Let’s show them they’re not alone. We will be posting a go fund me soon but, you can also Venmo or send a check to ME and I will get it to him, make check payable to Kate Worm
