Melany Austin hasn't added a story.
It is with a heavy heart that my family and I are asking for help on behalf of my brother, Jake Roy. We truly appreciate you taking the time to read Jake's story.
Jake is kind hearted, fiercely loyal, always willing to lend a hand or an ear, he has a strong faith in Jesus, has many friends - most who call themselves a best friend- he has a loving and wonderful girlfriend, an extended family who care so much for him, and a great career in HVAC. A fun fact- Jake writes poetry!
On July 30th, Jake was is in a terrible motorcycle accident that has left him in the trauma/ICU at one of our local hospitals. He will require extensive reconstructive surgery for his face (almost all facial bones are broken/fractured), he has a fractured back and neck, and will require some skin grafts. He had a tracheal tube and feeding tube put in today to prepare him for the next few surgeries. We have been told he will be in critical care for the next 30 days at least. His family and friends are praying/thinking positive thoughts that he will come through this.
Jake has a long road to recovery so my family and I have created this fundraiser to help offset his medical costs. All donations will go to medical costs.
If you are not able to donate, please pass a long a kind word, a prayer, positive thoughts, etc. Please feel free to share this story and link.
*a common best practice seems to be posting photos of the person in hospital, but due to the graphic nature of his injuries, we have decided to not share.*
