Support Tom Keilyk's Road to Recovery

Hey everyone, my name is Amanda and I’m looking for help raising funds for my dad, Tom Keilyk, who was in an accident yesterday evening.

He was on his way home from work on his electric bike and was ran off the road by a vehicle and was left there alone. My dad hit his face and was very confused and disoriented. Since he passed out, he did not get a glimpse of the car and unfortunately the house he was in front of did not have cameras. So finding the person driving the car is near impossible.

He has a broken sternum (but no punctures), maxillary and mandibular fractures and displacements, and missing teeth. His jaw is wired shut with screws right now, but he will need further surgery.

My dad thinks he’s younger than he is and thought he could just go home and sleep it off. Obviously, that’s not the case. His birthday is on Friday and he’ll be 61. Clearly not in fast recovery age.

If you have ever met my dad, you’d know that he’s a big goofball. He loves his wife (Terilee), kids (me, Tommy, and Adam) and his grandkids (Ella, Everleigh, Savannah, and soon to be new baby girl) immensely. The grandkids are shaken up and worried for him and it breaks my heart for them.

He will not be able to work for a little while, and his bike is destroyed. And with the surgeries and being transported to Cooper trauma unit, we will be struggling. So, if you have even a few cents to spare, we would appreciate it more than you could ever know.
