Hey dudes and dudets. My name is Casey, and I ski. Well, I can't at the moment anyway, because I recently took a gnarly crash in the terrain park and broke my collar bone in 6 pieces. I manage a skiing/snowboarding shop called Precision Mountainwear, and skiing is a passion of mine in the winters. The store I manage is seasonal, which makes for a perfect gig for skiing and working! Unfortunately, I don't make much money, and don't make money with my other hobby in the summers either.
I've come on to NewSchoolers because I know it's a community of the most radically fresh, happenin, synergistic community of like-minded shredders the internet has to offer, whom all have a devoted compassion to skiing, and the people who do. I wanted to post a thread explaining my current situation with my finances and my collar bone after my most recent ski accident. Without insurance, paying for the surgery I need to realign my collar bone in to place to allow me to ski without any further complications for the rest of my life is quite impossible with my current financial situation, and the cost of surgery.
I wanted to ask you..the fun, awesome community of skiers if you might share a bit of compassion in the form of a donation towards my surgery so I may be able to shred without pain! I'm young, but passionate. I wish to continue to be an active, outdoors individual for the rest of my life. Please help me continue my passion and love for skiing, and donate to my PayPal account. Anything would help. Thanks for taking your time to consider helping someone who could really use it.
