Collin Bosse

Collin’s Road to Recovery

Collin broke his C5 and C6 vertebrae and suffered a severe spinal cord injury while at the beach with his friends. He has very limited mobility in his arms and hands, and currently no feeling below the chest. Collin is currently working hard with the amazing staff at Craig Hospital to increase his mobility and independence. We’re asking our family, friends, and community to join us in fundraising with the nonprofit Help Hope Live to help with the rising expenses Collin will face during rehabilitation.

Collin is a bright, compassionate, and hilarious light in so many lives. He is an incredible surfer who thrives in giving back to his community; from participating in beach clean ups to sharing his love for surfing by teaching blind and autistic youth how to find stoke in the ocean. Despite this devastating injury, Collin has not let it get in the way of his positive attitude and unwavering strength. He always gives 110% to any obstacle in front of him and this is no different.

While Collin has health insurance, most costs will not be covered. Collin will be in in-patient rehabilitation for three months minimum, with a long road of physical therapy ahead. He will need a wheelchair accessible vehicle and various renovations to our home are needed to make it accessible. The road ahead is long and uncertain so we do not know what additional accommodations, tools, and services will be needed.

Donations to Help Hope Live in Collin’s name will help ease this financial burden and allow Collin to focus on a healthy recovery. At only 23, Collin has such a bright future and any support will help him to get back to independence. Collin is determined to get back on a surf board and continue living his best life!

Collin has chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors.
