Hit&Run Victim's General Needs

Our friend, Sandy Thin Mar's Son, Steven Wanna was celebrating his 20th birthday on the February 14th 2017 when he was tragically involved in a hit and run incident. Steven had been hit by a vehicle in Nuneham Courtney and was later found on the side A4074. With no further information after police investigated the scene as there were no CCTV in operation and no witnesses came forward.  We were left questioning what actually happened that evening. When paramedics reached Steven they feared he may already be dead as his injuries were catastrophic, it was a miracle that he had even survived the impact of the mystery vehicle. Steven was taken to the John Radcliffe hospital (ICU) where he was left to fight for his life in a medically induced coma for 4 months. His injuries included : Scull Fracture; Brain Hemerage; Brain Swelling; Eye socket bone fracture; Nose fracture; His face was split open; Lung Swelling; Hip fracture; Left leg broken and his right toes were broken. Today it has been 6 months after the incident and Steven is lucky to be alive, he needs a facial reconstruction surgery as his face is now disfigured he also needs a permanent home. Steven is now wheelchair bound therefore needs special care, his mother is a former nurse who was battling breast Cancer in 2016 and wants to look after Steven once he is discharged from Rehabilitation, however she can not afford all of his treatment and future housing due to her own chemotherapy treatment and its costs. Steven is learning basic life skills after the brain damage has eaten away at his memories however he is trying to remain strong for his loved ones who visit daily. Steven is a kind and caring young man, who always sees the positive side of things. We know he will never be the same but we want to do what we can to help him heal. Please help us give Steven the life he deserves. No one deserves this.
