GoFundMe for Ben Price

From the GoFundMe page "Help Ben Price with his brain injury and loss of work."

As a result of his injury, he is required to give up over six weeks of work while he recovers.
Ben is usually a very independent and self reliant person, but as an independent contractor this loss of work is a significant financial blow.

If you don't know Ben, here are few words about him from his fiancee Tori Ben is deeply loved by everyone who knows him, and for good reason. He is endlessly selfless and always puts the people he loves first. Even when his career takes him overseas, he never lets distance stop him from showing up. He makes sure his friends and family always feel cared for and on his mind.
