2yr old Hudson's skull fracture and brain bleed

Donation protected
Hello, I am fundraising for a long time friend who has had a horrific accident happen in her amazing family. Hudson turned 2 in February, he has been a sweet, snuggly, farm boy from the beginning. Unfortunately on 3/29/23 the unimaginable happened and he was kicked in the head by a horse. He was rushed to Rady's Chrildren Hospital but was unable to be flown due to weather conditions. He sustained a massive skull fracture which resulted in a severe brain injury with bleeding and bruising. He made it through surgery thankfully but has a very long road ahead. His amazing mom, Tyra, dad, Rick and 7yr old sister Hayven are managing the best they can. Unfortunately they were already experiencing financial trouble and with the impending medical bills, time off work, occupational, physical, and mental therapy Hudson and his family will require to get through this I am reaching out to our wonderful community to ask for help. By donating you will be helping ease a small amount of fear and pain from this family. This is a horrific accident where 1 split second changed the course of not one but four people's lives. If you are able to help in any way financially we thank you.


We have an update as of 4/2/2023 from Hudson's mom, Tyra.

Update on Hudson- today was a big day! We were able to take out his bolt (the monitor in his brain) and his CPAP. We were able to hold and cuddle him too! Tomorrow he will have a swallow test and if he passes we can start a small amount of food and water. We still have a long ways to go, but he is making huge steps in the right direction of his recovery! We can't thank everyone enough for all you have donated! The amount of people who have reached out with messages of hope and love is overwhelming. We appreciate every single donation as it has given us a sense of peace in such an uncertain time. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you!!

Update 4/7/23

This morning we said goodbye to our team. At Rady's and we went home!!! We cannot thank everyone enough for all of the support this last 1.5 weeks. The amount of people who have showed up for us is incredible! We’ve had people bring care packages to the hospital, donate money, bring us food, give gift cards, take Hayven for sleepovers and chaeffuer her around, come over to milk our goats and bottle feed babies, send us yummy steaks, bring us lunch groceries and even offer a free grooming for Roo. We are completely overwhelmed with the love!! Hudson still has a lot of PT, OT etc but he is home and doing great!!! Thank you everyone!!!
