Support Tyler’s Spinal Injury Recovery

Donation protected
In the early hours of March 31st, 2025, my brother Tyler was driving home from night shift when he was involved in a single-car accident that changed his life in an instant.

He sustained multiple traumatic injuries, including spinal fractures from C7 to T7, sternal and radius fractures, and a serious spinal cord injury. Tyler underwent emergency spinal surgery and has been receiving intensive care ever since. The operation was a success, and while we remain hopeful, it’s still too early to know the full extent of his future mobility. He is now preparing to begin an intensive rehabilitation and therapy journey—one that will be critical in helping him achieve the best possible outcome.

Tyler has always been passionate about fitness and soccer. Whether it was running or kicking a ball around with mates, being active has always been a core part of who he is. Losing that freedom so suddenly has been heartbreaking—but Tyler’s resilience shines through.

He’s now learning to navigate the ward using a power wheelchair, pushing through daily rehab with determination and courage. But the reality is, the road ahead is long, and he can’t do it alone.

With your support, we’re raising funds to help Tyler access the essential resources he needs including accessible housing, equipment, transport, and aim for a modified vehicle.

If you know Tyler, you know he’s always the first to offer a helping hand or bring laughter to a room. Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

Your donation—no matter how big or small—will help ease the burden and give Tyler the best chance at rebuilding his life. If you’re not in a position to give right now, please consider sharing this page.

Thank you
