Support after baby boys fingers were cut off.

My Grandbaby Boy’s Fingers Severed in Tragic Bike Accident.

My grandson is my world — my joy, my reason for pushing forward every single day. I have done everything I can to keep him safe, to give him the love, stability, and care that he deserves. How in a second flat, all that changed and it has me crushed HEARTBROKEN.

A few days ago, something happened that I wish with all my heart I could undo. While playing, he barely rested his little hand on a small bar at the back of a tricycle. In just a split second, it moved forward, and the chain underneath caught his tiny fingers. It was a freak accident — the kind of thing you never think will happen — and it severed three of his fingers.

The doctors worked so hard and were able to save all but one. I am beyond thankful for their quick action and for every prayer that has been sent our way. He is so brave, and I’m proud of how strong he’s been through the pain and the surgeries.

Some of you may have even seen me on the news recently, warning parents about the dangers of tricycles and bikes without chain covers. Most parents have no idea that these open chains can sever or permanently damage a child’s fingers in seconds. If you saw that story, yes — it was us. And I’m sorry I wasn’t able to tell even my closest family or friends sooner. My mental state has not been great, and I needed to focus solely on him. I knew that if I started sharing, I would get a lot of questions, and right now my only priority is his healing.

This has been an incredibly hard month. Preston has been in the hospital twice in the last 30 days, and this accident has just added to the emotional and financial strain. That’s another reason I’m making this post — so that everyone I love knows what happened, so others are warned, and so I can ask for your prayers and support.

Right now, I need to be home full-time to care for him while he heals. He has been through so much in his short 3 years but especially in this last month. On top of that, I’ve recently lost my Social Security income as well as my part-time job, so things are extremely rough. I’ve set up a GoFundMe for anyone who feels led to support us during this difficult season — whether through donations, sharing the link, or simply continuing to lift us up in prayer.
