This has to be one of the most horrible things that I have heard about. Moreover, this story applies to a friend of mine. I was never one for details because I usually misinterpret facts but here is the story that I have paraphrased from a friend. Matt Dow(a friend whom I've had the pleasure of working with), his brother Adam and his wife were trying to put up a flagpole at home. It hit some hydro lines and Adam was severely electrocuted. His wife has some burns from trying to remove him from the pole, but otherwise she is physically ok. As for Adam, he remains in hospital; he has severe internal damage, especially to his lungs. Furthermore, he has had numerous skin grafts and has had BOTH arms amputated. Apparently, he is unaware that he has lost both arms right now as he is heavily medicated. To make matters worse, Adam and Kelly have 2-month-old twin boys! This truly is one of the most horrible stories I have ever heard in my entire life. He is 25....His wife 23. And they have 2-MONTH-OLD TWIN BOYS! So horrible.
Well, I received a phone call a short while ago and it turns out that Adam Dow died Sunday night. A group of people are trying to put together a trust fund for the family and a care-package for the twins. One of my friends has created a website that is also receiving donations that will be donated to Adam Dow's family.

Being a new father and with brothers of my own, I cannot help but feel for the Dow family. Hopefully, most of you can see where I am coming from. If you can make a donation or have ideas to help out the family, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
