Our beloved son, Gary Wingold, was tragically involved in a severe car accident on May 12th 2026. He sustained critical injuries that caused severe brain injury. He is out of the ICU but he has a very long road to recovery. He has to relearn everything. Gary is such a vibrant 14 year old boy full of dreams, always making us laugh, and loved to play football and hunt. All of our world has been turned upside down."

"Since the accident, our family has been living at the hospital, dedicating every moment to Gary's recovery. Both my husband and I and even his biological mother have had to stop working to be by his side, which has created an immense financial strain on top of the emotional devastation we're already facing. We're trying to stay strong for him, but it's incredibly challenging."

"We've started this GoFundMe to ask for your support during this critical time. The funds raised will directly go towards:

* Medical expenses: Beyond what insurance may cover, including specialized treatments and future rehabilitation.

* Living expenses: To help us cover rent, utilities, food, and other basic necessities while we are unable to work.

* Travel and accommodation: For our family to remain close to Gary during his long recovery.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in alleviating the financial burden so we can focus entirely on Gary's healing."

"We are overwhelmed by the love and support we've already received. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for considering helping our family. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing our story with your network. Your prayers and positive thoughts for Gary recovery are also deeply appreciated. We will share updates on his progress as often as we can."
