Hello, I am reaching out for hope and help for my son Austin who is dealing with a very sudden and severe medical emergency and is currently fighting for his life in the ICU. He was visiting family and is now in a hospital about nine hours away from home. By the grace of God and the amazing staff of doctors and nurses, he has made it through the first 24 hours.

We are trying to raise funds for Austin to cover mounting medical expenses, bills as he is of course currently not able to work his full-time job, and recovery needs after being under paralysis and therapy that will be needed if he can pull through this unexpected dramatic life event. Austin is an amazing person who would give you the shirt off his back. He is a hard worker and is just trying to make a life for himself. He is a wonderful son and brother, and we love him dearly. We just want to have some financial support for him to ease the burdens and help him to focus on getting better.

Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers,

Austin's mom, Laura
