Hey guys as some of you know I work for the Mansfield Fire Department. About 18 months ago we had one of our firefighter's injured his neck (slipped disk) while catching a falling patient. Jarrod had surgery to repair the disk and things went down hill from there. While screwing the plate to his disk a peice of bone was lodged into his spinal column. Jarrod has had 2 other surgeries to repair the damage with no results. Right now he is basicly paralized on one side of his body. He has since then on top of everything else been diagnosed with ALS (lou Gehrig's disease). What we need from you guys is HELP!!!!!! We are holding a benifit concert at Fat Daddy's in Mansfield on Dec. 18 from 1pm till whenever everyone wants to leave. This will have several live bands as it is in conjunction with the Justin Frazell "Red Dirt Road Show". Please come and show your support. The money raised will help to keep his families head above water (wife and two daughters one 3 years old and one 6 month old) as well as sending him out of the country for stem cell therapy as a last ditch effort to get him walking again. Jarrod has a 6 month old daughter who he has never been able to hold by himself because of nerve damage. Please come out and show your support to a local firefighter. Also the pictures below are of some T-shirts we are selling for him. They are $15 and can be picked up at station 1 @ 202 S. Main St. Mansfield, TX 76133. I will attach a flyer below also.... Please feel free to print it and post wherever you can.
We will be having a raffle and silent auction during the event. If you or your buisness would like to donate ANYTHING to be auctioned off please contact me @ jsmall317@yahoo.com or call 817-776-6999. I am trying to work with one ranch I know for maybe a doe hunt to be auctioned off.
