On Saturday May 11, 2013, my 24-year-old son, Kasey Rowland, was in a Tuff Truck competition in which he suffered an unexpected injury. This event was a race around a dirt track that had several jumps. After the last jump, Kasey’s truck landed, and the impact was so hard, leaving Kasey with a broken back, a severe spinal column injury, and unable to walk or feel his lower extremities. Kasey was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital, in Grand Junction CO, where he spent 10 days in ICU. He had surgery and was transferred to Craig Rehabilitation Center in Denver. The prognosis is still unknown, but as of now, he still cannot walk, and has no feeling below the knee, and very little control below his waist.
Kasey and his fiancé’, Laurinda Cooley have 4 children between them, ranging in age from 7 years to 5 months. At the time of the injury Kasey was a full time student, within days of graduating and becoming a certified auto mechanic, and a couple classes short of his diesel mechanic certification. Kasey did not have any insurance at the time of this accident, and we are told does not qualify for Medicaid, as he has worked very hard in his short life, and has acquired a home, and vehicles that disqualify him. We are doing everything we can to get Kasey the help he needs. However Kasey’s medical bills are something that we desperately need your help with. In addition to his staggering medical bills, Kasey will need home modifications, vehicle modifications and ongoing rehabilitation therapy.
A fundraising campaign in Kasey’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. In 2000, they expanded their mission to include those who have sustained a catastrophic injury. All contributions are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Midwest Spinal Cord Injury Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for injury-related expenses only.Kasey has a wonderful attitude and looks forward to returning to a productive life and supporting his family. Please help us help him achieve this goal.
On behalf of Kasey and our families, thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Kasey's - Still the same!
Kasey has pretty much settled right in at home. I sometimes forget that he is in a wheel chair, even though he is sitting in it. He just doesn't let anything stop him. Every day he does what he needs to do, and there is no such thing as "I can't do it." If there is something that needs done...raking the yard, putting jumper cables on his vehicle, working on a vehicle, spreading gravel with a tractor, rocking babies to sleep...you name it, if it needs done Kasey figures out how to do it! I am really proud of him!
