For those of you that do not know him, Brad Prichard is the owner of Prichard Contracting. He and his employees were in Wyoming for approximately two months building a zipline. They had completed the job and were scheduled to leave out on Saturday September 25th to head back home to their loved ones.
On that Friday September 24th, Brad and his employees went out for their last night to celebrate their big achievement of completing the zipline. However, things certainly did not go as planned. Saturday morning Tinia received a call that Brad was in the hospital. As it turns out that night Brad had been assaulted and his jaw was very badly broken. At the time no one knew the exact chain of events that led up to these injuries. Since Brad was states away from home Tinia had to spend many hours filled with worry while she tried to come up with the best plan for Brad to get him the help he needed. They were disheartened to find out the doctor in Wyoming refused to do the surgery. Due to the circumstances, after all of the phone calls, frustration and tears the decision was made to fly him home. Brad ended up waiting a total of 4 days to receive the necessary surgery. On Sunday, in the middle of the night Tinia rushed Brad to the hospital in excruciating pain. Finally on Tuesday, September 28th he was able to undergo surgery. The surgery was expected to last approximately one hour but turned out to be a 4 hour extensive surgery. Brad is now on a lengthy road to recovery.
Many times in life through the twists & turns unexpected events happen that are out of our control. Unfortunately these events can lead to very difficult times. This is when we find ourselves looking to our family and friends, in hopes of finding strength and support. Brad & Tinia are in need of that strength and support right now. With all of the costs incurred for Brad’s medical care and getting him home quickly, it will surely put a burden on Brad & Tinia. All of the medical costs that will be owed in both Wyoming and Missouri will be an out of pocket expense. Having these unplanned costs on top of the normal cost of living and in addition to having only one income for the next six weeks, this will certainly be a challenging and stressful time.
We are asking their friends and family to please make a donation, even if it is a few dollars to help them through this very strenuous time.
For those of you that know Brad or Tinia, I don’t have to tell you that either one of them would give you their last dime if they knew you were in need. They are two of the most selfless people that I have come to know. We are hoping that you can find it in your hearts to return that act of selflessness. If you cannot afford to donate money at this time we completely understand. Please continue to pray for Brad and Tinia for strength, support, healing, answers, and justice!

Brad & Tinia would like to thank you in advance from the bottom of their hearts.
