Family of teen pedestrian hit in Red Deer open gofundme page

From gofundme page set up by Lynsi Hamelin
Help my family recover from a horrible accident
On monday August 19, my 14 year old brother was hit by a car.
He was unconscious on impact, taken to the Red Deer hospital where he was put into a medical coma before he was airlifted by STARS to the Calgary children’s hospital.
He is currently working on communicating verbally again and he unable to walk or stand without a team of physio experts to stabilize him.
They have found some pockets of blood in his brain as well as there’s a bleed where his skull meets his spine.
It’s going to be a long, hard road to recovery for that boy (and our whole family).
He has had so much family come and be/stay his side.
In particular though, im setting this up for our mom, Michelle, and our step-dad, Robb.
They have been by his side since the moment it happened, and as the only working adults in the household, needless to say – my family needs help.
They are out half of their monthly income as is, on top of the trips being made between Red Deer and Calgary to go get clothes/family members/medicines/feed the pets, they also have to feed themselves while staying at the hospital.
Haven’t heard if there’s any medical bills that need to be taken care of yet either.
The last thing my mom needs right now is to be worrying about whether or not she is going to have rent paid, and a place to bring my brother home to when he is ready to come home.
Any and all support is SO appreciated and I’ve never known a more deserving family.
Thank you for your time and all the positivity and love being sent to my brother.
We will make it though this.
Also, I know some people prefer to just etransfer, if that’s you – my mom’s email is [email protected]

Thank you so much.
Everything helps.
