Default Donation Drive - Ft. Lauderdale Lofting


CLICK BANNER TO GO TO DONATION SITE AND FOR UPDATES ON KEVIN'S PROGRESS

Kevin Kearney underwent a violent lofting during a squall from Tropical Storm Fay early the evening of August 18, 2008. Images from this startling accident were captured by a TV news cameraman as Kevin was repeatedly lofted and flew overhead as rain pounded down. The rain spattered clip was carried by news services and websites worldwide. Many wondered how anyone could survive such a high speed flight into a hard landscape.

Amazingly, Kevin spent only a few days in the ICU and regular room before being discharged to go home. For those that saw the video, this outcome might be called miraculous. We understand he has no memory of the lofting or ensuing accident. We hope this very rapid healing continues leading to his full recovery.

Kevin was recently laid off from his job and in the process, lost his medical insurance coverage. As a result, his emergency medical treatment, time in the ICU and future rehabilitation and treatment will be at his cost alone. Such expenses can be overwhelming but at the same time critically necessary. Donations are being requested to help Kevin out. Please click on the banner above to be taken to the website, http://kevinkite.org/.

Thank you in advance for your concern and generosity. Any donation regardless of amount is very sincerely appreciated to help Kevin work his way back to health.
