Bryan Anderson, Amie, Edward and Amaya

Hello, Friends all over the world. This account has been set up as an urgent plea to help the Anderson Family in any way that you can.

On Sunday, April 16th Bryan was involved in a terrible fluke accident, while body surfing with his family in Nicaragua. He has subsequently suffered a significant spinal cord injury, which although we do not know the neurological outcome at this time, will be life-changing for him and his family.

Amie, Edward and Amaya were with him at the time and he was saved by his son Edward. The family came together in full emergency response and flew him to the mainland where he was immediately transported to a hospital.

He is currently in ICU in a hospital in Nicaragua, after emergency surgery, with Amie and the kids, while they wait for him to be cleared and stable enough to come home.

The prognosis is not clear yet, but we do know that Bryan is facing the battle of his life and will need ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. Bryan is the main provider for the family, being a ski guide in the winter and a contractor to earn the family's annual income. Bryan is now faced with a situation where he may never be able to work again, and possibly never walk again.

This greatly impacts the entire family with all that is to come and with no foreseeable income, we ask for any help you may be able to give.

Proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to provide the therapy and care he will need to focus on recovery, to ease the monthly bills for his family and to put food on the table for them during the long road ahead. They will also be used to make their home Wheelchair accessible for when he can return home.

Amie and the kids will be in Nicaragua for a while until Bryan is cleared to come home. The expenses are adding up fast and will be many for a long time to come.

We ask that you can give anything you can to this incredible family who has been so generous to others and who never fails to help their friends and family when needed.

We also ask at this time that you do not contact Amie directly while she deals with this immediate crisis. While she is so thankful for the support, she needs to be able to focus on her family and the logistics of getting Bryan home. Feel free to leave kind messages here, or to check back for updates. We will be setting up a Facebook page where you may send your messages to the family.
