Steven King Recovery Fund

On the evening of Friday 13th April, 2018, Steven was walking along the Warrego Highway between Jondaryan and Bowenville when he was tragically struck by a vehicle, with the impact then forcing him under a truck.
Steven was resuscitated twice at the scene and air lifted to the PA hospital in Brisbane in a critical condition.
Initial assessment of his injuries reveal extensive damage including head injuries, broken neck, multiple fractured bones (hands, wrists, pelvis, legs, ribs), damage to liver, kidneys, spleen, punctured lungs, damage to C2 spinal chord.
Steven underwent urgent surgery early Saturday morning in an effort to save his right leg, however sadly it required amputation. The full extent of his injuries has not yet been assessed, however it is know that Steven has a very long battle ahead of him.
Steven is a loving son, brother and devoted uncle to 7 children. Like many young men, he has a passion for cars and enjoys the outdoors.
Prior to this tragedy, Steven was living in Chinchilla near his mother. This is approx 4 hrs away from the PA hospital where Steven is expected to be spending at least 12 months on his journey to recovery. He will require intense personal care beyond this.
I am an extended family member who has set up this Go Fund Me page to help raise funds to assist in the on-going cost of travel, accommodation and living away from home for Stevens Mum in the first instance.
This page will be updated as his condition is further assessed and we have a better understanding of his recovery journey.
On behalf of the family, your support and understanding is greatly appreciated at this very difficult time.
Your donation will make a difference to Steven and the immediate family by assisting to provide funds to enable the care and support he requires.
