Help needed for Tyler Lane (victim of carjacking)

Donation protected
My name is Jessica and I am trying to raise money for my 20 year old nephew Tyler Lane since birth he was one of the sweetest kids you will ever meet. He has always made friends with everyone and will help anyone who needs it which in this case ended up to be his downfall. After visiting friends he was driving home and stopped for gas. A man came up to him and kept asking for a ride. Initially, he said no because at night it's usually not a great idea to let strangers in your car. Well, the man ended up using a very convincing ruse saying he was injured and just needed help to go a few blocks. So being the kind hearted kid he is he allowed him in and before getting around the car from pumping gas the man jumped in the drivers seat. He was holding onto my nephew as he drove frantically dragging Tyler while driving as fast as he could then he let go but my nephew was afraid to fall at such high speeds so the man pulled out a knife and stabbed him. He left him lying in the road covered in blood.  Now they anticipate he wont be able to work for months, he cant sleep because there is not one area of his body not covered in severe road rash, and he has to walk on crutches from his stress fracture on one leg and a fracture to the other ankle. Then to top it all off this man was a repeat violent offender that has my nephews registration with his address on it and also has his phone. Now he's gonna be looking over his shoulder everyday worried if he will be a victim again until they find the animal that did this. They have this mans address but of course he isnt there so there is nothing they can do while he drives my nephews car around. So while my family never likes to ask for charity we really need help in this case. His medical bills are more then we can afford the meds they gave him alone were hundreds of dollars plus the hospital bill and no pay from a job because of his injuries and the deductible at the very least on his car. So I ask you to please help however you can. Every little bit helps him and he didnt deserve this treatment from anyone. This could happen to any of us or our children or parents so please find it in your heart to help.  MY FAMILY THANKS YOU IN ADVANCE!
