My name is Braden Matejka,
i am from lake country B.C. Canada.
I took a bullet in the back of the head as my story will show you.
I will be using this money for any expenses incurred that aren’t covered by my medical, I can’t fly home cause of the brain swelling and will have to be driven. Any lost wages as I won’t be working for some time. Any excess money I would like to help the other families and possibly the people who saved me.
Thank you for donating, this is my story!
26 hours ago my life changed, my girlfriend and I were attending the route 91 festival, as we heard what we thought were fire crackers going off. People started ducking and running. I said don’t worry babe no ones shooting at us. As the gunman ran out of shells in his first round he started to open up again. As I seen someone in front of me get shot trough the chest, I grabbed Amanda and said get the fuck down now. She states that I was pulling her so hard that she felt like her feet weren’t even on the ground.
We kept running to a tent, where there were numuerous people inside ducking for cover. As the gunman started peppering the tent we grabbed tables and flipped them over. When the bullets didn’t stop coming down on us and hitting the tabeles it was time to make a run for it. As soon as we started running again I hit the ground full sprint on my face, it felt as if someone hit me with a sledge hammer in the back of the head. I got up and yelled for Amanda, saying I’ve been shot. She looks and the whole back of my shirt was covered in blood. Blood spurting from the hole in which I had been shot. We started running holding my head, dizzy and rattled I wasn’t sure where to go. We got to cover again and went under the back side of the covers. These four random people, helped save me this day. As the in guy ripped his shirt off and tied it around my skull, another one waving down s car. The police had no idea what to do at the time so this kind young lady drove like a bat out of hell to then closest hospital which then I was rushed into the OR and had my skull looked at. They are keeping me till tomorrow or the next day to make sure that my brain has stopped bleeding. To say the least this was the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced. My deepest condolences to the many people that didn’t make it. Seeing so many people getting brought to the hospital, passing away beside me. Watching people being hunted down like cats. It sickens me.
I would like to say thank you to everyone of my friends and family members who have shown so much love and compassion for me. My amazing girl who has been by my side this whole time. Everyone.... thank you in this time of need.
I may have left some details out cause of the nature of what I have seen and respect to their families. I love you all.
Injuries include brain bleeding, brain swelling, fluid in the brain cavity, my sight is blurry and cross eyed.
