Western Welder and Western Welding Academy are coming together to raffle off a $15,000 welding machine. All proceeds will be given to Danny Keiderling who recently endured a horrific motor vehicle accident and is currently paralyzed from the chest down.

Danny has been a welder for the past 10 years, 3 of them as a welding instructor at Western Welding Academy in Gillette, WY. His inspiring love for teaching our youth about the importance of blue-collar trades has impacted millions of people all over the world.

Danny’s charismatic personality and extensive knowledge of welding have skyrocketed his following on social media and several other trade publications. He is a sought-after influencer in all mediums such as Podcasts, YouTube series, and all other major social media platforms.

Due to Danny’s horrific accident, he has been left with zero financial resources to continue supporting his new baby and fiancé. He will be forced to spend the next several months in the hospital and another 6 months to a year in a specialty rehab facility.

If Danny has impacted your life in any way, please do whatever you can to help him and his family get through this. Anything helps... Seriously.
