Help Andy's family on the journey to recovery
Andy is a KLO middle school student from Kelowna BC who was struck by a vehicle at a crosswalk on KLO Road on August 2nd, 2021. He was on his way home from his friend's place when the accident happened. Andy is currently recovering in BC Children's Hospital but still in a critical condition. His family is in dire need of help to cover travel and living expenses while he is in the hospital.
Andy Son is 14 years old and lives with his mom and sister who just graduated from Kelowna Secondary School (KSS), the same school he was planning to go this September. Andy's father is currently in South Korea but having a hard time entering Canada. He won't be able to see his son for several months. His sister was planning to study at Okanagan College in this coming fall but now her priority is taking care of her mom and little brother. Before the accident, Andy's mom used to work at restaurants in Kelowna but she had to quit her job so she could spend more time with her son.
Since August 2nd, Andy was in coma for three days and suffered a serious head injury. He is awake now but cannot communicate nor recognize his family and friends. We don't know how long the journey will take but Andy and his family need our support along the way.
Thank you very much for your contribution.
