Let’s help Jared towards his recovery
Donation protected
Hi to everyone that reads this I am trying to raise money for my brother who was in an unsettling car accident.
Early Friday morning, April 1st, Jared Duncan was in a serious car accident. His vehicle was smashed into by another auto and rolled over multiple times. Jared was rushed to the emergency room at Dell Seton Medical Center in downtown Austin. Unfortunately, his injuries were severe. He broke his femur, two ribs, clavicle, and jaw in two places. His lung collapsed and his liver was lacerated. He was put on a ventilator and moved to intensive care. That afternoon in surgery, he had a steel rod inserted in his right leg and a tube was inserted into his chest to facilitate any drainage issues. Saturday morning, he had surgery on his broken jaw. The broken bone was set in several places and his jaw was wired shut. He was also taken off of the ventilator. Throughout that first weekend, he experienced massive amounts of pain in his jaw and leg. The pain medication has caused stomach issues which have unfortunately limited it’s effectiveness. Sunday, the chest tube was pulled out, but there is a fear that because his broken ribs are preventing him from breathing deeply, pneumonia could creep in. He has a long difficult road ahead. Not only will he probably be in the hospital for at the least another week, he will need to begin rigorous physical therapy in order to walk again. He’s facing months of difficult therapy and healing in order for him to be able to resume living his normal life. He is also facing another potential surgery to further correct and mend his jaw. He needs help with medical bills, but more importantly rent, groceries, automotive expenses, and other bills etc. while he heals. Also, there may be some at home medical devices and equipment he will be required to purchase in order to facilitate his full recovery. Jared Duncan has blessed the lives of so many people. Not only is he an extremely caring and compassionate young man who continually and unselfishly helps others, his skills on a BMX bike are unparalleled and have delighted many people. This man faces incredible odds returning to peak physical form let alone being able to do everyday physical tasks that most of us take for granted. Consider donating to him and thereby becoming involved in his rehabilitative process which will in due time restore his health and ability to enjoy and experience life to the fullest.
