Husker needs your Help -- Please read

[Sargon]

Hey everyone,

 

A fellow Husker is in need of some help. I don't normally post requests like this, but this really struck a chord with me, and after reading I'm sure you'll understand why.

 

His name is Justin Diehm, he's 28 with 2 young boys, a life-long Husker fan, and was paralyzed in a swimming accident on July 23.

 

To compound things, he's now facing a divorce, and a very tough road ahead without the support of a partner.

 

I've made a small donation to the family, and figured some from the HB community may also want to help a fellow person in need, who happens to bleed our school colors.

 

He's currently at the Madonna clinic in Lincoln working hard everyday on rehab, and needless to say, the medical bills are beginning to stack up and will for quite some time.

 

Ways we can help:

 

A ) Donate online -- any amount is great: Click here to donate using Credit Card, bank account, or paypal (acct not required).

 

B ) Contribute by mail -- card, gift, check -- send to address below.

 

C ) Post supportive comments in this thread -- I'll pass along.

 

D ) Visit him -- if you know a former Husker, have them contact me and I'll try to arrange it. Crouch & Rodgers have visited, and I'm sure he'd be happy to talk football with anyone else for a mental break from rehab.

 

 

Here's his site for more info: http://www.caringbri...sit/justindiehm

 

We all hear about the Husker Spirit - well here's an opportunity to truly exemplify the power of Red.

 

Many people experience tough times in our lives - and it's the support from family & community that lifts you beyond what you're facing. And Justin could certainly use all the support we can offer right about now.

 

Thanks for reading, & let me know if anyone has any questions.

Hi all, noob here. Anyway, you all know the OP so I don't need to vouch for this story but I will anyway and I'll be stepping in to to what I can. Big Red football is great but its not the be all end all, as this OP makes so abundantly clear. GBR!
