Anne sends her deepest appreciation to all of you for your concern and for your thoughts and prayers!As most of you know, Jim and Anne were involved in an automobile accident on April 21st. They were broadsided on the driver's side by a drunk driver. Anne had some minor injuries but Jim took the brunt of the impact. He sustained a serious head injury along with a fractured pelvis and a broken rib. It's going to be a long road to recovery.
We've set up this website to keep all of you updated on Jim's progress, to help coordinate assistance, and to raise money to help offset Jim's medical costs. Jim and Anne also run their own business, Water Works, which makes things even more difficult. If you have any knowledge about this type of business and would be willing to volunteer your time to help, contact information is listed below under "Ways You Can Help."Ways You Can Help . . .
- We are in the process of setting up the "Jim Cornwell Recovery Fund" to allow friends and family who wish to assist with the exorbitant bills that Anne and Jim will be facing as a result of this accident. In lieu of flowers (which Jim may be allergic to), we ask that a donation be made to the Recovery Fund. More information about the fund will follow soon so please keep an eye on the website.
- As you can imagine, Anne spends much of her time at the hospital and is exhausted when she comes home. We are asking that you not call Anne directly but rather send any thoughts or words of encrouagement to her and to Jim through the following special email account: jim.cornwell@yahoo.com We will post your comments on the Thoughts & Prayers page so that she can read them as she has time.
