help for ZR-1 owner in serious accident

[rkreigh]

Hello everyone,

Many of you may have chatted with <DAVZKAR> in the past and know him from some of his posts about his 1991 Black/saddle ZR-1 #0534.

Sunday a week ago Dave went out for a ride in his ZR-1 and never made it home. Dave was admitted to an emergency center in the York PA area following a severe rollover in his ZR-1 and has been there ever since, he was thrown from the car and received massive injuries. Dave suffered a broken back and numerous other internal injuries and may possibly be paralized due to his injuries. As soon as Dave is stabilized, he will be going to a rehab center in Philadelphia for a long road back to recovery if that is possible. To add to this dilema, Dave works for a contractor of the Federal Government and timing couldn't be any worse. His employer informed his wife unless he can physically show up for work today (impossible to say the least) he will not be employed
at that firm any longer. Dave has 4 children, a wife and a mortgage every month so things are not looking good for him. He has immediate medical coverage but nothing long term, Dave is a blue collar worker and managed to get by with everything and buy a 1991 ZR-1 which was the car of his dreams but that now has been shattered.

I'm trying any way I can as Daves friend to help him in any way I can and I'm reaching out to the ZR-1 and Corvette community to see if they too can come to Daves aid in his time of need and help with any donation that that they can afford.

If you have ever spoken to dave to chatted with him you know he is the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back if someone needed it.

A trust medical fund has been established in Dave's name at the bank branch where Daves wife Jane works in York Pennsylvania and if anyone can help in even the smallest way, it would be greatly appriciated.

I have seen the powers of the support of this great net and the Corvette community in the past and hope they can help a fellow Corvette guy who is down on his luck. I thank you for your time and support.

Hello all,
Dave has been moved to a rehab center in Philadelphia. He is doing OK but has a long road ahead of him, he still does not have any feeling in his lower legs but does have feeling in his upper legs (good sign)! His wife Jane will be calling me today with an update and at that time I will have information on the facility where Dave is doing his rehab.

A group of the ZR-1 guys are planning to pay Dave a visit to try and uplift his spirits, I will post when I know when this will take place if anyone else would like to attend.

I would like to thank everyone for their prayers and support in Daves time of need, and lets not forget those who have generously donated to this cause.

Trust me, when Daves gets better he will give back to the Corvette/ZR-1 community for all their help as I will also, man o man, what a great bunch of folks you all are.

Sincerley,

Jeff Gibson

Hello Jeff and welcome to the forum.

I am glad you accepted my invitation to come here and keep us posted. I also wanted to suggest you make a recommendation to get a PayPal account sent up for direct donations into the fund.

We will continue to hope and pray that Dave makes a full recovery.

JIM

I don't know him, but my best wishes to him and his family. Donation made through the store and Paypal was a great option in there. I hope all goes well for his speedy recovery.

Aloha!
