Man sitting next to a large red truck at an outdoor event, wearing a white shirt and cap. Other trucks and people are visible in the background.
IN JULY OF 2017 RENE WAS DRIVING HIS SEMI TRUCK TO OREGON AND TOOK A MEDICALLY CHALLENGED FRIEND WITH HIM SO HE COULD HAVE SOME TIME AWAY.  TRAGICALLY WHILE ASSISTING HIM BACK INTO THE TRUCK HE SLIPPED AND FELL BACK INTO HIM WHICH MADE HIM STUMBLE BACKWARDS AND HE LANDED ON HIS BACK WHICH RESULTED IN HIS SPINAL CORD GETTING INJURED AND LEAVING HIM PARALYZED.  HE SPENT 3 MONTHS IN THE HOSPITAL IN OREGON THEN GOT TRANSPORTED BACK HOME TO RED BLUFF WHERE HE LIVES. 

HE STARTED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY AND PHYSICAL THERAPY IN CHICO WHERE HE STARTED GETTING UP AND WALK THE PARALLEL BARS WITH A LOT OF ASSISTANCE, AND DO WATER THERAPY IN THE POOL. HE STARTED TO GET BETTER AND GAIN STRENGTH AND WAS ABLE TO MINIMALLY FEED HIMSELF.

THEN IN 2019 ON THE WAY HOME FROM THERAPY THEY WHERE REAR ENDED AT A STOP LIGHT AND THAT ACCIDENT BROKE HIS NECK AND BACK. HE HAD TO GO THROUGH A TON OF SURGERIES AND LOST ALL PROGRESS THAT HE HAD GAINED AND ENDED UP WORSE THEN BEFORE.

NOW ITS 2025 AND HE CAN CONTROL HIS WHEEL CHAIR JOYSTICK, BUT THATS ABOUT ALL. HE REQUIRES 24/7 CARE.

“I GREATLY APPRECIATE ANYONE WHO IS WILLING TO HELP, WHETHER IT BE DONATIONS, PRAYERS, OR SHARING TO GET THE WORD OUT. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!” -RENE
