One of our community, Sam Wood, was seriously injured during a freak accident and was badly burned over a large percentage of his body. He was evidently working with a power mower and it fell off a ramp, causing gasoline to spill all over Sam. It ignited and Sam was severely burned.

He is currently in the hospital recovering from his injuries and has undergone numerous skin grafts.

His family has set up a Go Fund Me page and would appreciate donations to help defray the costs of his medical treatments. Even after any insurance payments, the bills will still pretty doggone expensive. Burn treatment ain't cheap.

If you have anything you can spare, please head over to the Go Fund Me site and donate what you can.

Sam has been a member of CBN for a long time. He created the CBN Chapel group where members of faith could post and share faith related stories, and prayer requests, etc.

He has also donated some of his instruments to the CBGs For Soldiers program.

I have a 3 string fretless build I am close to finishing, and I will put it up for sale/auction here in this post. The proceeds will be donated to Sam's Go Fund Me fund.

Please keep Sam and his family in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Dan
