18-Year-Old in Coma After Tragic Bike accident— Family Needs Help to Stay by His Side

Life can change in an instant. For 18-year-old Stephen Brancato, that moment came when a tragic street bike accident left him in a coma and fighting for his life in the ICU.

Stephen is a bright, kind, and loving young man — full of energy, laughter, and dreams for his future. He’s the kind of person who always shows up for others, who makes everyone around him feel cared for and loved. Now, he’s the one who needs our help.

His family have not left his side since the accident. They are living every family’s worst nightmare — holding onto hope, praying for a miracle, and doing everything they can to stay strong for Stephen. But the financial strain is becoming too much to bear. Medical bills, missed work, and the everyday costs of simply being near the hospital are adding up fast.

We are asking for your help to lighten that burden so Stephen’s family can focus entirely on what matters most — being there for him as he fights to wake up.

Your donation will go directly toward:

• Stephen’s medical bills and ongoing care

• Support for his family as they stay near the hospital

• Everyday expenses during this long, uncertain road ahead

Stephen is a fighter, and we believe in his strength — but he and his family need our community now more than ever.

Please, if you can, donate to help this incredible young man and his family through the hardest time of their lives. And even if you can’t give, please share this page to help us reach more hearts. Every prayer, every dollar, and every share truly makes a difference.

Let’s show the Brancato family they’re not alone. Let’s lift them up with love, faith, and support as Stephen fights his way back to us.
