Airman’s Family In Need

From Chris Short at Conservative Thinking:

terrible event has struck a family of one of our nation’s Airmen. An Airman First Class from my unit has an eleven year old brother who was severely injured when he was hit by a garbage truck.

The eleven year old brother had to have part of his liver removed, doctors are trying to repair his broken pelvic bone, and his right arm had to be amputated just below the shoulder. As of yesterday morning, he had undergone six surgeries and doctors don’t know how many more are needed.

Our Airman is currently in North Carolina helping her family the best she can. I’m here in Colorado helping her other family (US Air Force Family) help her family.

The father is a proud veteran who is covered by TRICARE for most of the medical needs. However, at this time the family has to come up with over $6,000 to cover the medical bills that TRICARE will not cover. This is an incredible burden on our Airman and her family.

Chris is asking for donations to help the family. Please do what you can.
