Charlie Palmer

Charlie Palmer Needs Our Help.

As many of you may know, Charlie suffered a life-changing spinal cord injury following a skid/steer accident on Labor Day. Charlie has spent the last two months in two different hospitals, and is now in a rehab facility undergoing extensive rehab exercises and therapy. He is scheduled for release from Allied Rehab sometime in November. Charlie has regained some use of his arms, very limited use of his hands and no use, as yet, of his legs.

Even with insurance, Charlie will have many uninsured injury-related expenses such as: co-pays and deductibles, additional rehab not covered by insurance, home healthcare professionals, home modifications, a ramp and transportation to and from doctor appointments and rehab. In home rehab therapy alone is expected to be in excess of $50,000. The CDC estimates that an individual living with a spinal cord injury will have lifelong out-of-pocket expenses totaling $500,000 to $3 million.

To help with the financial burden of Charlie’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Mid-Atlantic Spinal Cord Injury Fund, and are administered by HelpHope Live for injury-related expenses only. Please consider making your most generous end-of-year tax-deductible contribution possible to help Charlie and his family to bridge the gap between here… and healed!

Thank you for your support and prayers for Charlie. They are greatly appreciated. Please be sure to check this campaign page regularly for fundraising events and recovery updates.
