Dalton, Linnea and Brayden Knowles

Donation protected
Hello my name is Frank R. Flores.  My daughter is Linnea Loree.  She is engaged to Dalton Knowles.  Together they just had a son last August.  His name is Brayden James Knowles.  He is four and a half months old.

I am raising money for them because on Christmas Eve Night at just past 11:30pm, they were driving back to their appartment in Denton, Texas.  They had been spending the day with Linnea's mom in Grapevine, Texas.  A few miles from their appartment they were involved in a near fatel accident.  Their four door compact Kia was involved in a collision with a Ford F-250 pickup truck (this was the fault of the driver of the pickup truck).  Linnea, Dalton and Brayden had to be transported by ambulance to the ER at so and so hospital.  Several hours later, Linnea and Brayden were released with minor injuries.  Linnea suffered bad bruising and a concussion.  Baby Brayden was in his infant car seat in the middle of the back seat.  He was released but has also been very traumatized.  He has not slept though the night since the accident.
He sustained minor bruising where the straps held him in place.  However, Dalton was not nearly as blessed.  He has a shattered pelvis.  He has a broken femur that was pushed up into his pelvic region.  He has a shattered knee cap and a broken knee socket.  He has mulitple lacerations to his legs, one of which went through the tendons to the bone.  He had a  high fever and was placed on a ventilator.  He was not yet stable enough for surgery.  The surgery was on Monday December 26th. The surgery to repair all of Dalton's injuries lasted more than 8 hours.  

Dalton had just started a new position with ATT in the outside satellite sales division.  He was doing extremely well.  He will be unable to stand on his surgically repaired shattered hip for three months.  He will be unable to work during this time.  However, Dalton will be in extensive phyisical therapy for the next six months regaining his mobility.  

The money will be used to pay their rent, living expenses, and the expenses of a new baby.  Obviously, they will be needing a replacement vehicle.  The insurance policly will not be enough to replace their car.

As I stated, this money is for them.  It will mean that they will not have to look for a new place to live, and will have enough money to get another vehicle.  They both are extremely worried about their finances right now.

Dalton and Linnea would be extremely grateful to anyone who can donate.   This would provide an enormous amount of relief for them after this terrible accident.  to help with their pending expenses.  

I, as Linnea's dad, would be very grateful.  I truly believe they need a helping hand to continue the successful start of their family!
