Ken Etter injured in an accident at Fontana

This is terrible, Ken is in my prayers.

Is there a way to set up some kind of fund to help Ken with his
upcoming medical expenses? I know he has been unemployed
for a while now.

Does someone who is unemployed qualify for workman's comp?

Thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery Ken.

Nope. Have to be an "employee" and doing an activity that is within the scope of your employment to qualify for W.C.

Ken's a real nice guy and a helluva competitor. I hate to see anyone get hurt doing this. He'll be back....of that I'm certain.

My son just talked to Ken this afternoon and although he had difficulty speaking, he sounded in pretty good spirits considering. We are going to see him if possible this evening. We will see about how he feels about any donations or help. I will post his acct. # if he thinks it is OK. Lord surely knows he could use the help..will see what he thinks about accepting it.
