On August 26, Steve fell while assisting a friend with a construction project. The fall caused severe misalignment and fractures in his upper spine, requiring emergency surgery.
Steve is currently recovering in the ICU and faces a long road of rehabilitation. His family remains hopeful that, with time and rehabilitation, he will regain the ability to walk and return to a high quality of life.
As Steve begins this long recovery, his wife, Christy, will need significant in-home assistance to help care for him and manage the demands of his recovery. The cost of this care has been quoted at approximately $12,000–$15,000 per month, creating a substantial financial burden for the family on top of the many other unexpected expenses they are facing.
Funds raised through this GoFundMe will help cover expenses not covered by insurance, including in-home assistance for Christy and Steve, modifications to their home, and equipment and tools to assist with Steve’s mobility and independence.
