Rehab & Rent 4 James
Donation protected
Dear Family and Friends:
The story: (Told as James by his Brother)
After putting in a 15 hour work day, in the sun and on the boat, I was riding home up the mountain on my scooter and that's the last I remember. The next thing I know somebody was asking me if I was alright and then I was rushed to the hospital in the back of an ambulance with serious injuries, having landed head first into rocks and pavement.
My Injuries:
Fractured Temporal Bone
(most complicated bone in the body)
Fractured Vertebrate C2
15 staples to reattach my scalp right down the center of my head, as you can see.
What you can do to help:
For those of you who are asking what you can do to help, or where to send flowers, etc. I'm going to need 6 weeks of rehabilitation and I have no savings. My employer and friends are all helping, but if you want to help, please make a small donation to my Go Fund Me account, to help with my rehabilitation, rent, food and survival, as I will have no income for awhile.
This means the world to me because:
I want to continue with my journey in life and the pursuit of my dreams, and not have to move back home. No offense Mom :)
I'm grateful to be alive and for the friends that have come to my rescue, people I've only known for a few months but whom have demonstrated friendship, love and support like a lifetime best friend.
Thanks and Mahalo!!
