When we were in Pennsylvania a horrible accident happened, I was waiting to share what happened until a YouCaring fundraiser was set up.
The veterinarian at the 1-Day Shelter we held in Pennsylvania brought an assistant with her on Monday, a very nice young man by the name of Mike. Mike worked hard all day, getting the vet what she needed, and never complained as the day seemed to never end.
Mike was assisting the veterinarian trying to put a halter on a mule when the mule bit Mike’s thumb and ripped it off. I was outside the building when I started hearing the most horrible screams I’ve ever heard in my life. When I got into the building I found the vet with Mike. I asked what happened and I was horrified by what I heard. The vet gave Mike first aid and Mike was taken to the hospital, prepped for surgery, and upon evaluation, the surgeon delivered the unfortunate news that his thumb was unable to be saved. Mike is a self-employed photographer. Unfortunately, this means he does not currently have any form of health insurance. When asked about this, he said that after the show was over he was considering looking at ways to get some sort of cover, such as perhaps improving his health insurance policy after looking at the options from Qantas Insurance, but sadly this was no longer an option he had in the immediate future. Plus, due to the nature of his injury, he will also be unable to work for quite some time.
Regardless of whether you use the assistance of someone like a slip and fall las vegas lawyer or want to get compensation following a dog bite incident, speaking to someone who can give you the right form of legal advice could be very beneficial. You want to make sure you go about it in the right way, especially as this can be a lot for anyone to deal with.
When we finally got to see Mike after his surgery, he said “consígame un abogado para accidentes de trabajo (Spanish for, get me a lawyer for work accident), I need those insurance guys to give me two thumbs up on a fat compensation”. Even after such a horrible accident, Mike still laughed and joked with us, what a guy! It would have been much easier if he had had this accident back home, he would have just had to have gone to a law firm, such as the Nehora law firm to sort out his accident.
Mike is on the board of directors for Pennsylvania Racehorse Rehoming, Rehabilitation & Rescue, a 501(c)(3) organization, and they have set up a YouCaring for Mike to help with his medical expenses. In the YouCaring it says 2 donkeys, the person setting up the fundraiser for Mike did not have all the details. This amazing young man has given his all to help horses, and lost his thumb because of his willingness to help, and I’m asking that you give to help him out. Every dollar will help!

Rescuers and volunteers have some of the biggest hearts out there. They will give their all to animals, and accidents can happen to anyone. In this case, it happened to Mike. Please do what you can to help this young man out, he deserves it so much. Let’s show him that the horse community really does care for those fighting to help horses.
Thank you so much! ~ Tawnee
