LIVINGSTON MANOR – Tragically, in October of 2009 Livingston Manor resident and businessman Willie Taggart, a carpenter and general contractor, was severely injured when the ladder from which he was working fell causing him to drop from roof level onto his back. Willie has been hospitalized since the incident undergoing treatment and therapy for various injuries, illnesses, and complications related to the fall. Most severe is the damage to his spinal chord that will likely leave him paralyzed.
Willie is a devoted husband, father, brother and son. He is also a great friend to many who miss him dearly. In wishing Willie well and hoping for his long-awaited return, it is important to recognize him for his enjoyable smile, pleasant attitude, and dedication to his family, friends, and community.
When Willie returns he and his family will need assistance from many of his friends to improve his home and adjust his lifestyle to accommodate his injuries. While there is a growing network of volunteers to lend a helping hand, there is a larger need for financial assistance to fund the modification, purchase, and delivery of a vehicle to accommodate a wheelchair, loading, and unloading facilities.
On January 10, 2010 the family, friends, and community of Willie Taggart will host a fundraiser at the Rockland House in Roscoe, NY between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. with buffet, entertainment, and a CASH bar. Raffles to be determined. Tickets are available $100 per couple.
Willie, his family, and his friends wish to offer special thanks to the Roseo Family at the Rockland House, Bill and Debbie Hendrickson for entertainment, and all other participants who helped organize the event and fundraisers.
For Tickets, Contact: Susan (845) 439-3919 or Jeanne (845) 439-4450
