Scott
was paralyzed in a car accident in mid-February 2008, coming home from a late
night mixing session. He spent three months in Bellevue Hospital, undergoing
an operation to fuse his broken T5 vertebra, heal his fractured rib and
clavicle, and begin his physical rehabilitation. Since mid-May he has
continued his rehab and physical therapy at Beth Abraham in the Bronx.
As ever, his spirits are high and his good humor inexhaustible.Scott has dedicated the past twenty years to creating and co-creating some very cool music. But as we all know, a life devoted to artistic production does not always spell financial security. Like many artists and musicians, Scott did not have health insurance at the time of his life-altering injury. Scott applied for Medicaid in February, but his application is still pending. As of now, the outlook for insurance coverage (from Medicaid and from legal action) is uncertain.
It is urgent that we raise funds to secure Scott's financial security and well-being. His friends have established a Special Needs Trust, The Scotty Hard Trust, to receive donations and administer to his immediate and long-term care needs.
