Support Owain after devastating traumatic brain injury

It breaks our heart as a family to share the tragic news that Owain was involved in a very serious car accident earlier this month.

After the incident, he was airlifted to Stoke Hospital where he remains in critical care.

Without going into too much detail he has suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). He has undergone emergency brain surgeries following the accident to mitigate the spread of brain damage. He also suffered other serious injuries.

He is the beloved son of Karl Williams and Beverley Griffiths, stepson to Einir and Eiddon, the much adored brother to Melangell, Rhiannedd, Ela and Mari and loving partner to Arianna.

Owain Williams is 23 years old and from the Porthmadog/ Blaenau Ffestiniog area in Gwynedd, North Wales.

He is a true adventurer, someone who embraces life with open arms and a heart full of hope even when faced with adversity in his life. He has so much life left to live and love to give and so many dreams to chase.

The road ahead will be long and challenging.

While much of Owain’s condition and recovery prognosis is still unclear, the magnitude of his injury is heartbreaking

We would like to thank all the emergency services that initially responded to the incident and to all the staff working tirelessly at the critical care unit - you are all an inspiration and we are so very grateful.

Anyone who knows Owain will know how truly beautiful he is both on the outside and inside.

We are reaching out to family, friends and anyone moved by his story. We need your help to give him the best possible care and give him every chance of recovery.

Donations for this cause will go towards the transport and accommodation costs for immediate family to be by Owain’s side through this process, rehabilitation care and required equipment and home accessibility and safety improvements. Donations will also be give to the Critical Care Unit at Stoke University Hospital and Brain Injury charities.
