LS1Truck Member needs our support - accident!

I wanted to share and reach out to all the members for support for one of our fellow members.

His name is Anthony, 21 years old and his member name is 04T76. I went to school for many years and worked with him.

He's part of the family and we're really close friends.

He was critically injured on August 14th in a terrible truck accident. He's been in ICU since the wreck and hasn't been awake.
His truck was totaled, but more importantly he's stable now.
He broke his head, back, sternum, knee, ankle and foot. All the surgery has been completed and he's recovering, but not awake.

Anthony is being taken care of very well due to his insurance, but every time I visit him, his family is just plain broken down. His mom hasn't been to work since the accident and doesn't go home; she is completely worn out! The dad is the same way!

I guess this post is about helping out the family, the mom and dad. Since the accident, they haven't worked, due to the unthinkable happening.

They haven't asked for anything, but knowing them so well, I know they need help financially. I have collected a few bucks from the locals that know him and that has meant a lot!

So members, what do you say, would it be possible for you to donate what you can?
Every little bit helps and I am donating as much as I can.
I know they need the help and 04T76 will be in the hospital for quite some time.

If all of us donate a little bit, it will add up to be a lot.
I'll keep you updated on Anthony's progress and how much we collect for the family.

I am collecting donations through paypal at erica@nelsonperformance.com

Thanks to all the ls1truck family and any donation is greatly appreciated!

thanks again,

Erica

Is this the same Anthony that used to work with y'all?

what happended??!! how did this happen?

Hey guys, erica just told me she posted this, so I'll chime in.

Yes Red, it's the kid that worked here. He still comes by 3-4 times a week to hang out and say hi.

We're not sure how it happened exactly, we'll get the details when he's concious, but who knows if he'll remember.
We do know his truck flew off the bridge down to the lower level.
Medics did say he had his seatbelt on, luckily.

I'm close to Anthony as well, he's my little buddy.
I saw them the other day as well, plus I speak to his dad on a regular basis and they could use some help.

Well GD! I wish him well, he seemed like such a good person when I met him. Hopefully he'll be able to recover fully. Crap like that sucks for such a young man that has his whole life ahead of him.

oh man this sux big time...anthony is a good kid...my prayers go out to him and his family as well....

I wish him my best and I hope everyhing goes well

Our prayers our with you buddy.

anthony is a great guy and a very good friend of mine. i hope the site can come together to help a fellow truck lover in need.

That is just terrible! Prayers for a complete recovery.

Keep us posted on the situation!

we've seen some money come in for his family, thanks a lot guys!!!!

heard about this, sure hope he pulls through

We went to visit Anthony yesterday. He is still in ICU, however he is doing much better. He is still sedated for the most part, but while we were there he was communicating with hand signals and some writing. Everything is really looking up. And thanks to all who donated, we were able to give $500.00 to his parents. Every little bit is helping!

Glad he is getting better :) Such a long road of recovery for him ahead, hope he gets the best support.

Please give what you can, even 5.00 helps, it could be any one of us on this forum and i know any of us would greatly appreciate it.

That's a bad deal, hope he sees a full recovery and the family makes it through this with out losing everything they own!

I will pass this on and see if I can help get some money collected. for them.

any updates on him?

He is out of the ICU, off the ventilator, currently doing rehab. He is feeling much better and is talking and everything. He still has alot of healing to do, but he is coming along great!

thanks erica...that is great news for shure..

man that's great to hear, I bet his family must be so happy that he is okay.
