On march 22 this year a good friend and fellow wheeler had an accident. His name is Steve Collins and he is 23 years old. After a day of riding we were pulling back into the shop here at my house and he had a girl with him he wanted to impress i guess. Well before parking but after undoing hi belt he decided to go out in the field behid the shop and cut a doughnut. As he was doing it his front tire caught causeing a sever roll during whiIt is a ch the girl was ejected cutting her head but Steve was pinned by the windshield bar and frame across his neck with the whole jeep upside down on him. We pushed it off him and called 911 and the whole deal, After he was Med-flighted to Huntsville hospital were were told that he had severed his trach and broken C-2 vertebrae. The result of this is he is now on a vent and paralyzed from his shoulders down. He spent 3 months in atlanta at shepards hospital but is now home with little change. The only hop he may have is the fact that the spinal cord was not cut but just severly bruised and kinda squished.
Now for where yall can help. His expenses are to say the least through the roof and insurance has cut him off. He and his parents after a long had process have decided to sell his jeep. they are wanting to get as much as they can for it to try to put toward stem cell treatments as doctors have said he looks like a good canidate for it due to the fact that his cord is still intact just damaged. We need yalls help to find a buyer or group of buyers
It is a 89 Wrangler

it is a well built rig and looks pretty good too. Very capible and engine was only ridden like twice before all this
