Help Scott on the road to recovery!

Donation protected
On June 27th, I received a call from my husband that he was in an accident. Scott fell down stairs and his arm fell through the window of a door. Thankfully due to his quick thinking he was able to save his life with using his belt as a tourniquet.

Scott was transferred to the first trauma center of the day (Penn State Holy Spirit) to have his bleeding stopped and be medically stabilized. After several hours, Scott was then transferred to another trauma center an hour away from home (Penn State Hershey) and was in emergency surgery that saved the use of his hand at midnight. The surgery was more extensive than expected with severed nerves, tendons repaired with cadaver mesh, and the loss of his ulnar artery.

We didn’t want it to have to come to this but the road to recovery is long - every day is filled with appointments and occupational therapy to gain the use of his hand back 3 times a week which is a half hour each way.

Scott is one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met and being out of work is not only taking a financial toll but a toll on his mental health as well. We moved to Central PA from the Philadelphia area when Scott took a promotion with the company he has worked so hard for. We also moved 2.5 hours away from family and everything we knew. While we couldn’t be happier in our new home this challenge has been extremely tolling on the both of us and we’re both dedicated to Scott healing to the best of his ability.

With both of us on a limited income and increased expenses not covered by insurance we could use any help we can get. Scott is determined to ride this road of recovery as long as it takes and heal! We appreciate every prayer, good thought, and any amount of support received.
