Prayers need for Jignlowe

Some of you will remember my old tournament partner for several years Josh Elliot. His other passion besides Crappie fishing is fireworks. They shoot off many fireworks shows each year for small towns and even larger ones like Lake Winnibago and here in Clinton. He was severely burned in an explosion last weekend at his garage in Urich. Second and third degree burns on 30-50% of his body. Really bad on legs and left arm and hand is a mess. He has had one surgery on legs and waiting for another in lower back and left arm which may require several. They originally thought 4 weeks at KU burn center but now looking like it could be more. I have contacted most of my sponsors about donations for a raffle or auction. Not sure if I will tie it into other fundraiser events they are planning or do something myself. Our company will match all the raised money if done through work so I may go that route. I'll let people on here know oe way or the other in case someone would want tickets or to know when/where the auction/fundraiser would be held. I should have baits from Mike Coffey custom walleye and Crappie baits. Jig heads from Timmy Tom's weedless jig company. Maybe some rods from Power Crappie/Todd Huckabee rods. Reels from Ardent and whatever else I can come up with. Right now the thoughts and prayers for him and his wife and kids are the most important. I may also try to get a address to his room if people would want to send a card and make sure to let him know it is from crappie.com guys and gals. Thanks and send a few up of you for them. This pic is a little graphic but he wants people to know why he wants and needs some prayers and good thoughts.

WOW!!!
Keep us up on the fundraiser.

They are one of the greatest family's that I have ever met. I have seen them do so many great things for so many people over the years. It has already should with all the people that have jumped in on returning the help now that they need it. Josh is very very good spirits through out the weeks and still cracking some jokes with nurses to keep everyone that comes in the room in a great mood. I heard he told his son Landon after he asked what josh had for lunch that day He told him he had a bacon cheeseburger and fries. Said best part was it only took them 6 hours to shove it down the tube. That's Josh. Keep the prayers coming guys.

Here is the address that we can send cards to. The kids get the mail and then will take them up to KU every other day to their dad. Hopefully we can get some crappie.com cards to him.

Prayers for him and his family.

As others have commented, please let us know details for a fundraiser. If you are doing some sort of event, I make handmade Adirondack chairs that sometimes go over very well in an auction sort of thing. Let me know and I could donate some for the effort.

Also, if he or his family needs anything "up in the city", please let us know and the Smithville Boys will help take care of it!

ANY UPDATES ?

Praying for this man and his family.

Sorry for late update here. Been busy around here last week or so.
Josh has made some unreal progress in the last week or so. He has been up and walking some. Surgeries have all went great and he is healing very well. He was just moved across the road to a place that will be doing his physical therapy. Still a long road to recovery but the prayers have to be the only way he has progressed the way he so far. They have several things going though his work for raffles and dinners that the company will match funds for.
