Help Derek Householder and his kids

Donation protected

Hi my name is Kaitlyn, I am Derek Householders daughter. My dad was is a motorcycle accident on July 4th. He got hit by a deer. He sustained many injuries including 2 temporal brain bleeds, 2 frontal brain bleeds, 8 broken ribs on the left, broken clavicle on the left, broken hip on the right, multiple face/skull fractures and had some bleeding in his lungs. He is also in stage 5 renal (kidney) failure. I got the call at 2am Sunday morning that he was in a bad accident and he was life flighted within 10 minutes of me getting to Algona hospital. Sunday I didn’t know what I would be walking into at Mason City hospital. When I walked I got told he would be sedated and put on a ventilator. He had a CT scan of his head that day that showed his brain bleeds were progressing. He was then in a coma for 9 days. When he woke up he couldn’t remember anything including his kids. I spent a week in a hotel thanks to my aunt Denise and brothers Cody and Robert. They felt someone needed to be close as he was so up and down with being stable. We have a long long road ahead of us. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was very reluctant on starting a gofundme as I am the daughter, but we have had family from out of state ask for one to be set up to help. I will post regularly to keep everyone updated!
