    On February 25th, my uncle Ted Kendall was severely injured in a logging accident. He suffered the following injuries: 5 skull fractures, 15 face fractures, 2 broken vertebra in his back, 2 broken vertebra in his neck, 1 broken rib, broken collar bone, broken shoulder blade, and bruised lungs. He has also lost his vision in both eyes but is seeing light. He spent 6 weeks in the Critical Care Unit at the Elvis Presley Trauma Center in Memphis, TN. He is currently continuing treatment at a Nashville hospital.

    We are having this benefit raffle to raise money to go towards the purchase of a van for his transportation. He has a long road to recovery that will possibly require months of rehab.

    The truck we are raffling is a 91' Subaru. There is nothing wrong with this truck at all. It is a great truck and is ready to go. Shipping is the responsibility of the winner.

    Tickets are available here: http://www.wtnminitruck.com/WIN_A_MINI_TRUCK__.html

    Questions? Call Kelvin at 731-538-2722

    I bought a ticket earlier today. I hope your friend is doing well with his recovery. Being from Maine, I certainly have a soft spot for loggers. This is one raffle I hope I lose - I never win them anyway. It would cost me over $1600 in gas and a Uhaul rental to get the truck back to Maine not including food or lodging.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
     
  7. Sorry to hear about your uncle man :(

    These things are never easy...

    We'll pray for a speedy recovery...

    Not sure how this is going to work,but I just bought some-hope my name makes it ino the draw,but more importantly,I wish your uncle a speedy recovery.....

    and if I win there is no way I will ship truck back to Alberta,so there may be more money for the fund in that case

    Just go to paypal and send him whatever amount you wish noting that it's for the raffle in the subject line. That's what I did. He sent me a nice note with my ticket numbers. :)

    A bit ironic but I first saw the raffle notice when I came in from doing some logging on my woodlot.

    We really appreciate the prayers and support from the folks on this forum. I just wanted to give an update to everyone who has asked how my Uncle is doing. He is still in the hospital and will probably be there for sometime. It is a wait and see game now. He is his old self sometimes and everything he says makes sense but at other times he has hallucinations. Hopefully this will get better as he has time to heal from the head injury. He has not regained his eyesight yet either. The doctors have been more concerned with his head injury and will deal with this once this has improved. Ted has been in a hospital bed since Feb. 25th and I know that has been enough to drive him crazy anyway! The next step will be rehab and hopefully things will start improving once that begins.

    Thanks for Your Support!

    $10,140 was raised in ticket sales and donations so we are very pleased and thankful to everyone who participated both online and locally. Ted may begin rehab tomorrow so we are very excited about that. He still has a long road ahead but I believe and pray things only get better for him now.

    Thanks Again to Everyone for Your Support and Prayers!
