David's Story
On Sunday, February 8, our lives changed in an instant. David suffered a traumatic accident that fractured his cervical spine at the C6/C7 junction, leaving him without the use of his legs and facing a long road through rehabilitation and recovery.
David is a devoted husband and father, member of the Wheaton Rescue Squad, the steady and dependable presence at the center of our family. His strength, humor, and determination are fully intact. We are raising funds to bring him home safely and give him the space he needs to rebuild his life.
Medical Needs
To bring David home safely, we need to transform our house into a fully accessible space. That work includes:
-
A wheelchair-accessible entrance
-
Widened doorways and hallways
-
A fully accessible bathroom with roll-in shower
-
Kitchen and living area modifications
-
Specialized medical and mobility equipment
-
Ongoing rehabilitation and long-term care support
The financial impact of a spinal cord injury is staggering. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, the lifetime costs associated with a high cervical spinal cord injury can reach into the millions of dollars. Insurance covers some things, but not everything.
Our goal is simple: bring David home to a space where he can live safely, rebuild independence, and remain at the center of our family.
Every contribution brings us closer to bringing David home.
