On Saturday night in Tremonton, 16-year-old Kirkham Tingey was in a serious car accident that tragically took the life of his best friend and left Kirkham with severe injuries requiring a LifeFlight to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, extensive surgeries, and long-term recovery.

Kirkham has already undergone a six-hour surgery and is facing at least four more in the weeks ahead. Kirkham is incredibly resilient—but the road to healing will be long and challenging, both physically and emotionally.

While insurance will help cover some of the medical treatment, the Tingey family will still have significant medical expenses, as well as:

• Months of rehabilitation, and likely years of physical therapy and other recovery resources

• Mental health support and trauma therapy

• Time away from work to be by Kirkham’s side

• Home needs and other incidental expenses

This fundraiser is a way for all of us—friends, neighbors, teammates, classmates, and community members—to show Kirkham and the Tingey family how much we care as they face this unimaginable tragedy and focus on healing.

Please consider making a donation and sharing this campaign. Let’s show Kirkham and his family that we are all thinking of them.

With deep appreciation,

Friends of the Tingey family
