Relief for Michelle and Eddi

Donation protected
My name is Chelsea daughter of Michelle, I am starting this go fund me account to help my mom and her fiance. 
 
Eddi was involved in a pedestrian car accident on the evening of the 17th of January, he was walking across the street near his home. Just after 5 p.m., a minivan was traveling westbound on 4430 South when witnesses say the driver ran a red light hitting Eddi in the crosswalk. He has suffered serious injuries. He is currently in the ICU in extreme critical condition undergoing multiple surgeries, battling for his life. This GoFundMe is meant to provide aid for Eddi and my mother during this extremely tough time. Eddi has an extremely long road of recovery ahead, he will not be able to work as he will be in recovery for a very long time. He experienced several injuries, both legs as well as his pelvis was broken in several places. Eddi has two chest tubes currently in from both of his lungs being collapsed and his liver was lacerated along with several other injuries Eddi will need to recover from. 
 
Eddi will have to undergo multiple surgeries and we want to make sure we can help in any small way with the stress of finances at this time as Eddi will need to be focused just on recovering. 
 
Eddi is such a light in everyone one's life, bringing his award winning smile to those he comes in contact with. Please help me brighten his and my mom's day by sharing this post/any kind words or donating anything you can to help. Anything is greatly appreciated ❤ we love you Eddi!
 
 
 
Some updates: Eddi has had 2 surgeries, one to fix his legs with some screws and pins and one to help fix his broken pelvis. We did find out the driver of the vehicle that hit him does not have insurance so this will be an even longer and more stressful process for Michelle and Eddi. They also live on the third floor of an apartment and are needing to find somewhere else to live immediately to accommodate Eddi not being able to walk for about 3 months but are having a hard time being able to get out of their lease which will be even more expensive!
