Support Luciano Angel's Journey After Tragic Accident

On Tuesday, June 17th, 2025 at approximately 2:40 A.M., a 15 year old boys life took a tragic turn. Luciano, (or as to many of us, Nano), was involved in a single vehicle rollover that involved him getting ejected from the vehicle. He was found 50 feet from the rollover site unresponsive and in critical condition. EMS had to insert a right chest tube in the field for punctured lungs, later finding the lung with air in between right lung and rib cage, collecting mucus and causing a lung collapse. Upon arrival at Regional West Medical Center, they found that Nano had broken vertebrates in his neck and spine, broken nose, and broken front and back ribs.

With Nano's critical condition, it was best for him to be transferred by flight to the children's hospital in Aurora, CO, where they discovered Nano couldn't feel or move from the chest down to his feet and had to keep him sedated. They found the vertebrates - C7 through T5 are all hemorrhaged, and T2 through T4 have a burst fracture, broken in multiple directions, a small brain bleed, fractured left temple, fracture in skull behind the left ear, broken collar bone, and fractured left shoulder, bruised right lung and left lung severely bruise and filling with fluid between the lung and rib cage, grade 2 liver laceration.

A few short hours later, he was taken to surgery to get stabilize his back with rods & screws to hopefully regain movement again. Upon him awaking from surgery, he had yet to gain feeling or movement back, and physicians, on June 24th, confirmed complete paralysis for the the rest of his life. While Nano is thankfully stable in the hospital, his recovery could take 6-12 months.

This fundraiser is to help Nano and his Mother with medical expenses, medical equipment, household bills, and many appointments and therapy Nano will need in the coming future. His mother will be unable to work with his transfer to CO from NE for the unforeseeable future. Anything you can give will directly go toward easing their financial burden during this incredibly difficult time, allowing Nano to heal and his mother to be there for him.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support, prayers, and kindness.
