Ben Wolverton, age 16, was in a tragic long-boarding accident on Wednesday the 4th, 2013. He suffers from severe brain trauma, a cracked skull, broken pelvis and tail bone, burnt knees, bruised lungs, broken ear drums, road rash, pneumonia, and is currently in a coma.
His family has no insurance. Ben is the son of author David Farland, whose books have won multiple awards, and who is widely known as a mentor to many prominent authors, such as Brandon Sanderson, Stephenie Meyer, and Brandon Mull.
Ben's treatment are expected to rise above $1,000,0000. To help raise money for Ben, we are having a book bomb (focused on Nightingale and Million Dollar Outlines) on behalf of Ben. Information on the book bomb is found here: http://www.helpwolverton.com/p/books-for-book-bomb.html Or simply donate to the Wolverton family here: http://www.gofundme.com/BensRecovery
I WANT TO HELP BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY!
The best way you can help is by spreading the word of Ben’s donation page, and/or this book bomb. Share it on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, your blog—anywhere you can. Invite others to the event.
ANOTHER WAY TO HELP!
For this week's Wednesday Book Review Link-up, I will be donating a dollar to Ben's Recovery Fund for every book review that links up to the party (Starting Tuesday Night 4-23-13). So, get the word out. One book review per person.*
TELL ME MORE ABOUT BEN. WILL HE BE OKAY?
David Farland has been keeping everyone posted on Facebook. Subscribe or friend him to get up-to-date information: https://www.facebook.com/david.farland1. At the moment, Ben is stable and appears to be improving.
Thank you! Ben and his family greatly appreciate your support, and so do all who love and care about them.
