<\/a><\/div>\n“On June 22nd 2012 I was involved in a motorcycle accident in rockingham North Carolina. My good friend Mike was driving and I was on the back. We lost control of the bike. I fell off the bike at a pretty high speed, Mike continued with the bike and hit a building. <\/p>\n
Mike passed away at the scene of the accident. Fortunately for me I was still alive. But very injured. I suffered a hangman’s fracture in my c2 vertebra, a hairline fracture to my t7 vertebra, two broken ribs and an open book fracture to my pelvis. I had to be air lifted to the Carolina Medical Center in Charlotte NC. I stayed in the hospital for about two weeks where I had to undergo surgery to rebuild my pelvis. A metal strap and screws were mounted in the front and an eight inch bolt was mounted through my side. <\/p>\n
After the accident my mother took me in at her home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Because of the pelvis injury I cannot walk. I am out of work and do not have any Heath insurance. My medical bills are very large. The life flight bill is $27,030.00 and the bill for just the stay in the hospital was $83,027.00, the was after a $53,000.00 credit for being self pay. These are just the two main bills. There are separate bills for the surgery, x-rays and ct scans. There have been several follow up appointments and prescriptions. <\/p>\n
The bills get higher and higher every day. I had applied through the state for medical assistance but was denied on a technicality for not providing paperwork that was in fact provided. I am in the process of applying for an appeal. But due to my unemployment and general lack of funds I have no way to pay these bills. Any help would be greatly appreciated.”
\nThank you.
