Assistance for the Winfield Family
Donation protected
On Thursday Dec 10th Patrick Winfield and his 3 sons ( Blake 17, Conner 19 & Clayton 22) were involved in a serious car accident on Highway 16 near Ardrossan.
Their car was struck by a truck travelling at highway speed, everyone but Connor lost consciousness and all were taken to hospital with a variety of injuries.
Conner is home now with various bumps, bruises and a neck brace.
Clayton returned home yesterday afternoon: he has broken ribs, heavy bruising and will require surgery in the near future for a hernia/torn muscles.
Patrick is still in hospital with a mild concussion and various bumps & bruises.
Blake (the youngest) was seated nearest to where the truck struck their car and is still in hospital awaiting surgery. He has a broken pelvis, broken ribs, collapsed lung, lacerated liver and spleen. He has internal bleeding that has not slowed down and he is going for another CT scan and angiogram to determine where the bleeding is. He has had several blood transfusions and they hope to stop the bleeding today with the surgery to rebuild his pelvis planned for tomorrow.
Mom (Alicia Winfield) is keeping it together but she suffers from high blood pressure and liver issues and I'm sure the strain of the situation is taking a toll.
Patrick is the primary breadwinner in the household and any interruption in his income will have a substantial impact to the families quality of life.
Additionally there will be numerous out-of-pocket expenses that may not be covered and can be difficult to foresee ie: (medications, gas & parking for hospital/rehabilitation visits, additional medical equipment for home, etc).
If you are able to help with any amount please do, I know it will be most appreciated.
