Damn heartbreaking.

 

[Gator Fever]

That is a sad situation. Life is definitely not fair many times.

 

[NVGator]

Wow. So sad.

I haven’t verified this is 100% legit, however I know Shannon Snell retweeted it. If you can donate, please do.

Done. In all kinds of weather..

In all kinds of weather..

Yup. And regarding my comment about the legitimacy of the GoFundMe, everything I see checks out.

Donated. Poor guy, you would think with his background this would be covered.

This tweet says “paraplegic” and thread title was updated to “quadriplegic.” Please clarify, because that’s a substantial difference. Either way, very sad to hear about a great young man who was an outstanding representative of Gator Nation.

I don’t know what you mean. The tweet says quadriplegic. Last paragraph.

I wish we had a little more verification of this. I hate to be skeptical of gofundme but Ive seen too many scams.

Yeah , seems to me $50k isnt that much to cover from exteamates alone

It looks like his insurance doesn’t cover rehab. As to the veracity of the go fund me, I have no idea

Donated. I hope it reaches $100,000.

Very first sentence says “paraplegic.” Sorry, I didn’t read all the way to the bottom. My new assignment keeps me hoppin and I’m skimming this stuff too quickly, apparently.

Th go fund me account has now reached about $60k. Scrolling through the donations show how many Gators came out to support, some in fairly big ways - Chaz Green and Jaylen Watkins among others. Some names I haven’t seen or heard about in a while, such as gideon Ajagbe, Kyle Christy (who I thinknposts here occasionally) and Herring. Even “Gator Chatter” showed up as a donor.

Awful situation. But it shines a light on some positivity in people and Gators.
