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

Thanks to everyone who bid on the 3 string fretless CBG to help Sam Wood!!

The proceeds have been donated to Sam's Go Fund Me page.

good on ya  dan    ,  ;-)

Get well soon, my prayers going out for you.

Sam, sent a little something, I hope it helps and you heal quickly.   Any update from the hospital?

Hang tough Sam and we're all thinking good thoughts for ya!

Dan, I went to the donation, but don't do credit cards - was hoping for paypal.   Is there a safe place to send a check?

John, I sent an email to Ruth Ford who is the fund manager with that question. I have a few customers who ether use checks or cash only. I prefer Pay Pal myself for it's security and mobile convenience. But for some reason, go fund me is only set up for cards.

Thanks!  I will send a check if I get an address.  Stephen, I  can not make your fest, but I am really thinking about going to one of your club house meetings.

Understood and it will be great having down to the club!
