Kevin Stone: Car Accident
Donation protected
On November 26, 2017 my good friend Andrea Stone’s husband Kevin was in a very serious car accident. According to the police report witnesses say he had the right of way but an oncoming car caused him to swerve and hit the railing of a bridge totaling the car and critically injuring himself. He suffered a broken back, broken neck, internal injuries, 6 fractured ribs, a broken ankle, broken wrists, fractured cheekbones, a fractured chin, and he also lost multiple teeth due to facial injuries. The medics rushed him to Grady emergency as an unresponsive patient.
Due to his tracheotomy and lung infection, surgery to begin to reset and repair broken bones and repair internal injuries has been delayed causing more complications. He will also have to relearn how to speak due to the tracheotomy and be in months of intense physical therapy to even hope to return to a shadow of his former physical condition.
As you can see from the picture Kevin is still mostly unresponsive having only moments of coherence and is existing in an unimaginable level of pain. His body is constantly being packed with ice to keep his body temperature down as he fights the infections caused by the accident until his body is well enough to withstand the massive trauma of further surgeries. His motor and speech skills are greatly impaired and he cannot write, speak, or communicate except very rudimentarily. At this point we do not know if there has been any permanent damage to his brain or even if he will ever walk again.
Kevin is scheduled for at least two more massive surgeries based on what we know at this time and a minimum one year of physiotherapy and healing. He will not be able to work for at least 18 months. As he was the primary bread winner of the family we are asking for your assistance to help keep the lights on, bills paid and help with what are no doubt to be incredibly huge hospital bills.
This is a stunningly huge shock for Andrea and her two children who are grief stricken at their father’s critical state so close to Christmas and anything you can do to help would be a Godsend. I don’t normally ask but please, please help these people. They are in dire straits and at this time of the year it’s a horrible thing. Please, open your hearts and help.
All funds raised will be used for his medical expenses, daily care and assistance
Thank you so much for your support, bless you
