The Scott Sandusky Fundraiser

“a go-to guy”

by Carrie Ann Moseley

We all know of someone who is a “go-to” guy. Someone who is always willing to help a friend or stranger, without telling you they already had plans. Someone who uses their time and skills to assist those in need regularly. Scott Sandusky is a go-to guy. He is energetic, skilled at anything using a hammer, nails or a tool, and when he hears of a need he usually responds, “let’s go do it”!

Scott has been a counselor at a summer camp for young Christian kids for six summers. He has been to Africa on a mission trip and was slated to go back to Africa in 3 weeks. He helps people move, repair their homes, and find part time employment when things are tough. Now he needs our help.....

On Tuesday morning, August 14th, Scott was unloading a trailer for the business he owns, Sandusky Construction. He had a hydraulic trailer on the back of his truck and was standing between them. The trailer lurched forward and pinned Scott between his truck and trailer on the right leg. He called his wife of 13 years, she called paramedics and went to his side. Scott was taken to a nearby hospital where x-rays confirmed that all of the arteries in his leg had been severed and the bone and muscles had were crushed. He was then air-lifted to the Carolinas Medical Center main branch where he had two surgeries to try to control bleeding and repair is leg. The bleeding could not be controlled. Eight hours later a 3rd surgery was needed to remove Scott’s right leg 4 inches above the knee in order to save his life.

As Karol sat beside Scott before his amputation surgery she could only think of the passage in Job, where God was telling Satan of the faithfulness of Job and that he could handle being tested. Karol kept thinking, “consider my servant Scott” because she knew this was a test...the test you want to be ready for, but cannot imagine. Scott and Karol are heavily leaning on their faith, prayer and God’s people to get them through this tragic accident.
