<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I never imagined I would be writing something like this about my 19-year-old little brother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Two weeks ago, Aadin was just driving home from work. He wasn’t out partying. He wasn’t doing anything reckless. He was simply heading home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And then a drunk driver changed his life forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In an instant, our 19-year-old brother went from planning his future to fighting for his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the past two weeks, Aadin has been in the hospital in constant, unbearable pain. He has already endured 7 surgeries, with more still ahead of him. Every time they wheel him back into an operating room, our hearts break all over again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He has suffered:
</div>
<div>	•	Over 60 injuries
</div>
<div>	•	More than 34 broken bones
</div>
<div>	•	A shattered femur
</div>
<div>	•	His entire right leg broken
</div>
<div>	•	Both arms broken
</div>
<div>	•	Severe trauma throughout his body
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His body is broken in places we didn’t even know could break.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The pain he is experiencing is something no one — especially not a 19-year-old — should have to endure. There are moments when he looks at me and asks me to make it stop. As his big brother, that destroys me. I would take every single injury from him if I could.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Instead, all I can do is sit beside his hospital bed, hold his hand carefully around the casts and bandages, and tell him he’s not alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For two weeks, our lives have been hospital rooms, ICU monitors, late-night phone calls, and praying before every surgery. We haven’t been thinking about bills. We’ve been thinking about keeping him alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But the reality is, the medical expenses are already overwhelming — emergency response, ICU stays, multiple surgeries, specialists, imaging, medications, and the many more procedures and months of rehabilitation he will need. Aadin cannot work. Our family has taken time off work to stay by his side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This wasn’t an accident caused by him. This was a choice someone else made.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And now he is paying the price.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for help so that Aadin can focus on healing without the crushing weight of financial stress hanging over him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can donate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you can’t, please share his story. Please keep him in your prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is only 19 years old. He had his whole life ahead of him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He still does.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And we are going to fight for it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>— Austin &amp; Family
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
