RIDE FOR JOSEPH STEPHENS
November 23rd, 2019
Joe was a Navy Diver with Bravo Co. He made it home with a few scrapes but Bravo Company didn't make it home. Recently, he contracted 3 strains of flesh eating bacteria and 2 staff infections on a trip to the springs. He's had surgery to remove his calf muscle and other areas of his let to try and remove the bacteria. During surgery, they lost him 3 times on the operating table. The bacteria spread all the way up his leg and they are continuing to pump him with massive doses of antibiotics in hopes that it does not travel to the bone marrow so they can save his leg and/or life!! Every day is torture as they have to leave wounds open, drain, gauze and then when it dries they need to rip the gauze and tissue out twice a day removing strains. In the meantime he’s going to need some income to pay for his mortgage, utilities, food and also support his daughter (single father) until he can get on disability and/or go back to work which doctors are not very hopeful! We need to be his new Bravo Company!!! Continued prayers please and any amount would be greatly appreciated.
