Dreams of a new beginning: Devon Gales returns home with great news

Devon Gales has been blessed with a huge surprise from the Georgia Nation after being placed in their care, suffering from a spinal injury on September 26, 2015 in the football game against the Georgia Bulldogs.
The fans of the Bulldog Nation are purchasing a new handicap home for the family of Gales.
“House modifications aren’t something insurance pays for. As you can imagine, it’s not cheap,” Wesley Jones, co-founder of the Triumph over Tragedy Foundation said, via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“We’ve been able to help several families and do modifications for homes. Unfortunately, the Gales’ home is one that can’t really be modified. So what we’re here today for is, our foundation is going to launch a campaign starting today, we’re going to raise money and we’re going to build these guys a new home. That’s what they deserve, that’s what we’re going to do.”
Gales received news that he will also be released from the Shepard Center in Atlanta, Georgia and return home to the Red Stick City of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
In essence, Gales is coming home.
From a long road of recovery and patience, Gales speaks further on what he will achieve when he touch downs into Jaguar Nation.
“It’s going to be different — I’m going to have to learn a different way of doing things,” said Gales, in a wheelchair flanked by his father, Donny, and stepmother Tanisha. “But I just want to see my teammates and let them know I’m OK and that I’ll be fine.”
Gales has been sending his infectious smile by the masses and making the public known that he is a survivor through a major crisis.
“I know my journey’s been way before this. I’ve been fighting my whole life. This is just a temporary setback, but it’s not really a setback. It’s another blessing,” said Gales.
Just for these kind words and more inspiring words that Gales has reached and foremost his condition is the reason that he is receiving this home.
For the most part, Gales recovery has been going smoothly because he revealed at a press conference that he has regained some feeling all over. He can move his hands and some fingers and can also feel his knee and the bottom of his feet.
Gales also mentions that he will return to Southern to continue his studies and reach a certain education.
“I’m ready to get back in school,” he said. “I plan to take one or two classes just to have a feel for school again, and I’ll do whatever I can to stay in shape until I come back home.”
Donny Gales said that Devon Gales will be home for a few weeks until returning back to the Shepard Center to receive plenty of months of outpatient rehabilitation.
“I know he’ll be able to walk again because the Lord has a plan for him,” said Donny Gales.
We are happy to have you home, a proud Jaguar hailing the sacred gold and blue.
