Jonathan Tamayo- Hit and Run Accident

On July 22nd we received a phone call that Jonathan was in the trauma critical care unit at Huntington Memorial hospital in Pasadena.

On July 20th he was on his motorcycle on the 210 fwy, a car side swiped him- knocking him off his bike, ran him over and dragged him underneath their car before driving off.

Thankfully there was a witness who called 911 and stayed with him until parademics arrived. Upon arrival he was found laying on the fwy unconscious and was resuscitated on the scene. It took two days for the hospital to find out who he was and contact family.

Jonathan suffered a traumatic brain injury -subdural hemorrhage on the right and left side, multiple fractures all over ; including 9 broken ribs , elbow and shoulder blade, blood in his lungs and third degree road rash all over his body causing nerve damage.

Even though some of the swelling in his brain has started to decrease he is at risk for a stroke, which we believed he had, but after being admitted back into the hospital he was diagnosed with bells palsy that was caused by the traumatic brain injury.

Jonathan owned and operated a handyman business for the past 8yrs, building decks, laying tile, building cabinets, etc, which unfortunately he cannot continue. He graduated from Cerritos college this year and was enrolled to start at CSLA this semester, but cannot as he can't drive, has many specialist appts each week and his short term memory is very effected.

With this comes a great loss of income, so I'm asking for help from his friends and family. Prayers and/or help with his financial loss during his recovery is very very much appreciated.

Thank you!! And we love you all!
