Hello Moto World,
Reaching out to those who understand the love and passion of this tough sport. 2 years ago my son was injured in a practicing incident that has led to many complications for him and our family. At first it was just a major leg and ankle break that has led to many complications. After close too 2 years of struggling he has made the brave decision of amputating his leg from the knee down. His friend has set up a GoFund me account to help with the finances. My son was very against a GoFund me account due to the fact he does not want hand outs, especially around christmas time, but at the age of 25 and the bills he has, me as a mother can only do so much. So far he has sold his truck/van, his bikes, bike parts, gear, TV's and basically anything to survive. He recently moved back into his fathers house to help eliminate his rent as well. We are working with a Lawyer for disability, but it is a long process. If anyone could help in any sort of way we would appreciate it so much.
Thank you all very much and have a great holiday.

I wish him all the best and most of all be able to keep positive on both the good days and the bad. My amp was on the same leg and place, so i am glad he was able to keep his knee, that makes a big difference.
If he needs anything or wants to talk i would be more than happy to help in anyway i can. Going into my surgery and right after i talked to some amputees who ride, and it was reassuring and a big help. It was awesome when those guys reached out to me and was something that helped me understand a lot.
If he ever wants to he can email me at trapper138@gmail and go from there
All my best to Joey

Thank you very much for your help we really appreciate anything so thank you. I am very sorry to hear about your injury, but you seem to be taking it extremely well with a great attitude.

And only an hour away?! Where are you located? I'll have Joey email you in a few hours.
Thank you again!

Good luck to you guys, keep your chin up, it will get better
Make sure you're working with a social worker when it comes to hospital bills. He should get a significant amount of assistance based on his income level...
I'm sure you're going down that route, but in case you didn't yet....good luck.
It's unfortunate that things like this can no longer be taken at face value but I know you've been on here long enough to have some credit.
If my donation helps some with Christmas and getting a win from the medical insurers, I'm all good.
I'm glad to see people are helping a good cause! Tell him to stick in there and everything will work out. I too was extremely reluctant to start a gofundme page due to feeling like I was asking for a free handout, but I ate a piece of humble pie after the foreclosure and did it anyways and I'm glad I did. It's made me realize it's not a handout... It's help and there is a huge difference. Please tell your son that he isn't alone and his Moto family supports him.
I can't give much at all in the form of $$$ and I apologize for that but I'm sure you understand. I will be transferring $20 from my account to his but it will be next week when I can afford to do so. Cheers and good luck!
PS if he wants a Moto buddy to talk to that can relate tell him to shoot me an email anytime! I've got plenty of free time at the moment.
