Hi everyone, my name is Byron Duarte and i am fundraising the money for me and my best friend. On June 14th, on our way back from North Carolina to New York where we were rear ended by a 18 wheeler. I myself, broke my entire spine, fractured my neck, fractured 10 ribs, broke my right arm, and my left lung had collapsed. My best friend which name is Arif Dilipchand, which sadly is still in ICU. Arif lost a kidney, fractured his lower spine, fractured most of his lower ribs, was internally bleeding from his stomach, and the worst not able to walk. I am raising these funds for because we are not able to provide for our families and/or ourselves. We both cant and wont be able to work. My girlfriend and his mother both lost their jobs to take care of us full time. We dont depend on the government or anyone just ourselves. It is very important to us because this will help us take care of bills, food, medicine, cab rides to appointments, and any other inconveniences.
