Support Caleb's Healing After Aircraft gear collapse Mishap
Donation protected
Hello,
My name is Andrew and I'm making this GoFundMe on behalf of Caleb Thompson to make a place where people can make donations to help him as he recovers.
On 12/11/2024 around 9am, Caleb was crushed by an aircraft landing gear while working on a Beech 1900 when the landing gear collapsed, and he was shoved into the gear well by the gear when the plane collapsed. Luckily, his co-workers were quick to respond and get the aircraft off of him and him removed from the gear well while he was in and out of consciousness. He was rushed to the hospital and was in the ER for several hours while they cleaned him up and stopped the bleeding and took images before he was moved to his own room. He sustained severe injury's including multiple contusions and lacerations to his upper body including his head and lip, broke his left wrist, broke his left side facial bones, had a severe laceration on his right arm, broke multiple spinous process in his back, along with various other injury's. He was taken to surgery around 6:30pm to irrigate his sinuses and stitch them up and to take care of all the lacerations he had sustained. The surgery went well and he is still in the hospital recovering.
I am making this GoFundMe for when he is out of the hospital and needs to have some extra funds to help out during his time off of work for recovery and any medical bills incurred. He is in good spirits and recovering well. He was very blessed and fortunate to survive this accident and we are all happy to have him still around!
