Retired Teacher needs help after Car Accident

Donation protected
My Dad Derek, aka Mr. Tyler to many at CIHS was in an awful car accident on Aug 6th 2019. When a person crossed the road and hit him head on.  I went home to bury him but he is a fighter and at age 79 has fought to return some sort of normal. Unfortunately due to the accident he was left without his work which was helping cover bills and not dip into savings. This situation has changed and the cost of recovery, making the house wheelchair accessible has left him without much in savings. Cathryn (my sister) and I are helping, covering bills and Cathryn is using her salary to cover most of the costs. The police has taken their time in filing the charges and and the other driver has been charged with  with Dangerous Driving. We will be going after the driver and insurance but have been warned that this could take several months and we don't have several months of savings to help him.  Mr. T is an iconic man in Cayman, has spent his life teaching others and putting the children of the Cayman Islands before himself, he wasn't rich in $ but is rich in soul and love for his fellow people. If you can think of him at this time and put a little towards him, and if you know him personally a note to say hi to him we, his family, would truly appreciate it.  I will donate the remaining balance of unused funds between Hope For Youth, a 501(c)3 charity that helps homeless teens reclaim their lives in Anoka County and Feed Our Future, which is a Cayman Islands Organisation that provides school lunches and summer programmes to Children in need. Thank you very much in advance! Paul and Cathryn
