My beautiful nephew Phoenix who is 7 years old crossed Willmott Drive, Cooloongup with his brothers and sisters after school on the 8th of May where he was hit by a car.
It was no one's fault but it has broken our families world apart.
Phoenix is gravely injured. He was rushed from Rockingham General Hospital to PCH under Police escort and put into an induced coma while the doctors and nurses fought to stabilise him. That night Phoenix had emergency surgery on his liver as well as having part of his skull removed to alleviate the pressure in his head. Without these surgeries Phoenix wouldn't have made it.
The prognosis is terrifying, with discussions happening on if he will be able to walk, talk, eat or even breathe for himself. Since those discussions Phoenix has woken from his coma where he has shown signs of breathing on his own and minimal movements.
It is still a very long road ahead of intense therapy, intense rehabilitation and the unknown of what his journey or life may or may not look like.
Phoenix's parents haven't left his side. But as a single income family with limited savings the financial pressure is building to continue to pay rent and for the care of their six other children.
Please no judgement. But if you can help this family keep their home together while they are with Phoenix your donation is gratefully appreciated.
Whatever the future, Phoenix needs his parents and siblings love with him right now.
