Strangers have already pledged $60,000 to help Michael Patterson, 43, who broke his neck in three places while saving the life of 4-year-old Javea Jones from drowning in a northwest Georgian creek, according to the Friends of Mike Patterson Trust. The paralyzed father faced huge medical bills without any insurance
The girl was dragged under water, her mother Carlisa said, describing it as the worst moment of her life - until the Good Samaritan took action. Remarkably, it was the second time in two weeks that Patterson had saved someone's life--he also pulled a truck driver to safety when his rig caught on fire.This man is an American Hero and should not be left to pay millions of dollars alone for saving the lives of two fellow Americans.The government should be there to help him.
