Good Deeds:College Football Assistance Fund (CFAF) aides Gales family during crisis with $5,000 fund

Devon Gales’ family has received relief from outside sources.
The College Football Assistance Fund announced on Tuesday that they are giving the family of the Southern junior wide receiver, Devon Gales, 5,000 dollars to assist with the travel expenses and loss of income expenses while Gales recovers from a neck injury he suffered against Georgia on September 26. 
Gales went through a successful surgery from a severe spinal injury at Athens Regional Medical Center and has been transported to Shepherd Center in Atlanta. Also there’s Ty Williams, who received a grant from the College Football Assistance Fund last week, who is currently rehabilitating as well. 
Devon’s parents, Donny and Tanisha Gales spoke on the impact of Gale’s injury and how thankful they were of receiving the funds. 
“You’re never prepared, emotionally or financially, for your son to suffer such a serious injury,” said Devon’s parents “The support of the College Football Assistance Fund will now allow us to focus on Devon and his recovery, and not on how we’re going to afford being with him at such a critical time in his life.” 
Following the 48-6 bout, the University of Georgia flew Devon’s parents to Athens, and then transported them to the Athens Regional Medical Center. A few days later, Southern University created a fund to assist the with medical expenses. 
“In football, we’re a tight-knit community, and you really feel for the player and his family in this situation,” said CFAF Board Member and Super Bowl XX MVP Doug Williams, “This is the whole reason for the CFAF fund to be ready to help families in need.”
Those able to assist the family with medical and non medical expenses can make donations at www.CFAFund.org, which will be held in a restricted fund for Devon.
