     A Mountain Home boy was seriously injured in a golf cart accident earlier this week. A go fund me account was established in his name.

     The account reads, Jason Dupchak is an active 14 year old boy from Mountain Home, Arkansas. He and his friends were driving a golf cart through their neighborhood, when a terrible accident occurred on Tuesday, August 2, 2016. Because of the accident Jason suffered a fracture of the C5 vertebrae in the front and back which caused significant bruising and trauma to his spinal cord. This injury paralyzed Jason from the neck down instantly. He was air lifted to Arkansas Children’s Hospital and was taken to neuro-spinal surgery at UAMS. The surgeons were able to completely remove his C5 vertebrae and insert a cage and rod into his spine. The prognosis for Jason is still unknown, but he is making baby steps each day in PICU. His recovery and therapy will be lengthy and financial assistance for mom and dad will take one burden away from Jason’s parents. Any donation amount will be greatly appreciated by Kerri and Jason.
