Raising donations for Lane Louwagie

Donation protected
Early Sunday morning April 11, 2021, Lane along with multiple friends, were involved in a bonfire accident.  At the ER, he was placed in a medically induced coma and airlifted to HCMC burn unit.  On sunday afternoon he was taken out of the coma and allowed to breathe on his own and is doing great in that area.  Lane's body was over 60% burned.  His left side of his face, left hand, most of his legs and butt area.  He has 1st and 2nd degree burns, but mostly 3rd degree and possibly some 4th. He is going to be undergoing multiple surgeries with a lot of skin grafts on his lower extremities. Lane goes in daily for cleaning and bandage changes but today April 14th, they will begin doing some deep cleaning to assess the degree of everything and figure out where all the skin grafts will need to be done. He is in a lot of pain and heavily sedated but overall is trying to stay positive about everything that has happened, but definitely has his moments, as anyone can imagine.  He will be in the hospital a minimum of three weeks if all goes perfectly. If you have tried to reach out to Lane and he has not yet responded, please be patient as we're sure he would love to correspond with you but have a few limitations.  Please know that all of your thoughts and prayers are so greatly appreciated by all of us.  Please please keep them coming!  This is a very devastating time for so many people, and we are overwhelmed by the love and care that has been conveyed to us.  Lane does not live at home and will be out of work for several months, which if you know Lane, will be a big struggle for him,  The donations that are received will go for Lane's medical bills, travel expenses and some home expenditures if needed to help from the loss of wages.  There is also a way to send donations directly and a Venmo account for those that prefer one way or another.  There are a lot of social media platforms that may have that particular information.  On behalf of Lane and his tribe, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for the prayers, love, kind words, and support.
