Friends and family members of a western Iowa man who suffered traumatic brain and other injuries during a motorcycle accident last month, have organized a means to raise funds to help pay his medical bills. 22-year old Jacob Braunersrither, of Council Bluffs, lost control of his motorcycle on June 22nd, and was thrown about 50-feet. In addition to his brain injuries, the man suffered from a broken femur and fractured hip.

Braunersrither has spent the past three weeks in the ICU at Creighton Hospital. He was recently transferred to Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital for extensive therapy with brain injury specialists. To help pay for his mounting medical bills, friends and family of Braunersrither are running an online fundraising campaign through Red Basket, a nonprofit crowdfunding website based in Omaha.

All funds donated will go directly to him to help pay for medical bills and his car payment. No fees are charged to donors with giving through Red Basket. To support Braunersrither with your tax deductible donation, visit RedBasket.org/580. The fundraising campaign is titled “Fighting for Jacob.”

Red Basket is fully supported by WoodmenLife which covers Red Basket’s administrative costs in their entirety so 100% of donations are directly passed thru to the individual or cause.
