Funeral for James and help with paying our bills

Donation protected
Our family is asking for your generosity and help to pay for 12 year old James Rankin's funeral and financial assistance to cover his medical bills or any other bills that may be yet to come.
Thursday February 1 our 12 year old James Rankin was outside playing with his biological 13 year old brother briley and his step 12 year old step brother Colby when a older aged woman whom was drunk driving a motor vehicle at high speed approached the end of the block where all 3 boys were playing outside and that's when the drunk driver hopped the curb and drove on grass where the children were  and then unfortunately the driver hit my son with such strong force that her headlight was ejected from her vehicle and also causing one of James's shoes to be thrown from his body several feet away from the scene.  my son was thrown in mid air when she made impact after he landed on the concrete the driver steered toward my unconscious son and she again made impact and drove her vehicle over my son's body. James was rushed to OU medical center after numerous surgeons tried everything they could they discovered that the hole was beyond repairable in his main artery. He suffered from a broken spleen numerous fractures of his ribs also had a broken arm and blood forced trauma to his forehead and a serious amount of internal bleeding. Our family is lost for words. So we're asking for anyone to help our family. For those of you who can help we truly appreciate it.  

He was like any other child his age,full of energy he was a little brother and he was also a big brother. He most definitely didn't deserve to be taken from us in the blink of an eye. If James could ask us for anything it would be for- Justice -
