Donald Hughes, firefighter with West End Fire Department in Morganton, North Carolina was responding to a fire call, and while en route in the water truck, he was involved in a serious accident! (There are links to the news stories on the News Articles! page.) Donald (Donnie, as we all call him,) is married to my first cousin, Kimmy Hughes. When we got the news that he had mutiple, critical injuries and had been airlifted to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, we were all shocked and worried!
Donnie suffered injuries to his aorta, spine and back, punctured lung, and several crushed ribs. The injury that he will live with is the injury to his spinal cord. Donnie and Kimmy have been informed that it is 95% likely that he will not walk again. In talking with my cousin, Kimmy almost daily, they are hoping and praying for the best and preparing for the worst.
In that position, the Hughes family needs our financial support! I cannot even begin to list or calculate the expenses involved in losing the household income, transportation, fuel costs, basic bills and necessities, and just basic living!
I have buttons on this page that say Donate Now!, and you can give with any major credit card OR paypal account if you have one! EVERY dollar helps! My goal in this project is to raise $10,000!!! Sounds like a lot, but if EVERYONE who reads this blog gives a minimum of just $10, .....we will reach our goal and be a huge blessing to Donnie and his family!!!!!
