Paralyzed Man Given Support

A man in Santa Clarita Valley, CA was recently paralyzed after being hit by a car while riding his bicycle. Those who want to show support and get involved in his recovery process can follow a website his family set up. They can also wear a custom wristband . “The Web site is a way for friends and family - or people who have never even met Mather - to stay involved and show support.

"In a situation like this, you obviously still have to go to work, but you want to be there all the time and see what's happening all the time," Montoya said. "You don't want to call the family all the time because you know they're busy, so the Web site just answered that for people."

The site, www.kevinsrecovery.com, provides a way for anyone to join Kevin's Recovery Team and get involved through prayer, meals, visits, donations or fixing up the couple's condo.

Donors get a "Kevin's Recovery Team" wristband. The blog describes the intention of the wristband: "Upon arriving at the hospital, we were issued a green disposable wristband. A few people decided to keep their wristbands on as a reminder to pray for Kevin in the days and weeks to come. We have decided to design green silicone wristbands with the phrase ‘Kevin's Recovery Team' embossed on them," the blog reads” (http://www.the-signal.com/news/archive/15712/). I really like the “Kevin’s Recovery Team” approach. What a great way to show support!
