A fundraiser is being held for Donato Chesnut on GoFundMe. Proceeds will go to build a home that will help with his physical limitations and give him more independence. The goal is $100,000. As of Monday afternoon, it had raised $2,800.
On February 2024, Chesnut was involved in a vehicle crash. He was ejected from the vehicle and crushed by it. It took emergency personnel several times to revive him on both the helicopter and at the hospital. Thanks to the actions of a friend on the scene, the first responders, the LifeFlight crew, and the ICU crew at Mosaic in St. Joseph, his life was saved.
For the next 6+ weeks, he was in the ICU and started to regain the ability to breathe unassisted. He next went to a specialized rehab center. He is now confined to a wheelchair with limited upper body mobility. His mother is his primary caretaker.
Donato’s dad is a carpenter and has started the pre-construction process, but donations are needed for labor and materials. Other people will donate their time and labor to help reduce construction costs.
On October 12th, 2024, a fundraiser for Donato in Sheridan was one of the biggest events in recent memory to be held at Sheridan. Hundreds of people attended, and there was a meal, a silent auction, a live auction, and music.
