Jeff’s Story

Site created on November 17, 2018

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.


On Saturday night, November 10, 2018, Jeff fell down a steep embankment into a trench where sewer and water lines were being installed. He fell approximately 10 -15 feet, and landed on his head. He was life flighted to Hennepin County Medical Center and admitted into the Intensive Care Unit. He has a broken neck, broken nose, 4 broken vertebrae in his back, a spinal cord injury, a concussion, as well as many bumps, bruises and cuts. He is so fortunate that he is alive and able to move his extremities.


Jeff is on a very limited, fixed budget. If you are able to help him out, he would be very grateful. We have set up a GoFundMe account. All donations will go toward his medical and living expenses.
