Family and friends of Trevor Comeau are raising money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with his catastrophic injury.

Those of you who know Trevor, know that he is a man full of life and full of love. His vibrant spirit is immediately recognized and his charisma captivates people within moments of meeting him.

On Friday May 28th, 2010, Trevor was involved in a serious accident while on vacation in Jamaica with his girlfriend Jenn. Trevor suffered a traumatic head and neck injury while out in the ocean, resulting in a near drowning. (We would later learn than Trevor would also be facing life as a quadriplegic). Trevor was initially treated in Jamaica briefly and then transported to southern Florida. After nearly a month of treatment in Florida, Trevor made the move to Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in Northern New Jersey, one of the nation’s leading rehabilitation facilities. Here, Trevor worked with an aggressive team of specialists and continued to fight each day, showing both increased determination, as well as improvements in his condition as time passed.

After a year of traditional therapy, Trevor and his girlfriend, Jenn, made the move to Southern California to take on a new type of therapy… An intense, activity-based recovery program at Project Walk. The gains Trevor made in his 8 months out there were truly unbelievable. As he continued to meet milestone after milestone, the whole idea of being confined to a wheelchair was becoming less of a reality and more of just a bump in the road.

In order to continue his therapy at Project Walk and help pay for uninsured medical equipment, Trevor has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility to the full extent allowed by law for donors. Donors can be sure that funds donated will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses. For more information, please contact Help Hope Live at 800.642.8399.
