Hey - my name is Jon Wu and my friends Ty and Shea Kingston got into a pretty horrific Motorcycle accident at the end of August. Shea sustained a broken ulna (left wrist - hard cast for 6 weeks) and a T6 compression fracture, while Ty's injuries were quite a bit more extensive and severe…

T2 to T6 compression fracture (Surgery needed - 6 screws and 2 rods)

T9 and T10 compression fracture (No surgery needed)

2 broken ribs on left side, and 1 on right side

Broken radial head (left elbow)

Broken radius (left wrist)

Collapsed right lung (required chest tube)

Total hospital time: 4 weeks

Estimated recovery time: Arm - 4 months, Back - 8 to 12 months.

The road to recovery is a long and frustrating one - having gone through a similar 8-month recovery myself from being hit by a truck last year. ICBC (and WCB, in my case) are both terrible to deal with; the new rules are awful and unsupportive to victims of situations that are out of their control. It was physically, mentally, and financially challenging for my wife and I during that time - my mood and temperament was consistently sore and short. It took some counselling for me to set aside pride and accept the help my friends and peers offered. Knowing that my guy Ty was probably going through the same struggles, this GoFundMe is to assist with any and all of their bills while on their long road to recovery.

Know that your support is received with love from Ty, Shea, and Bandit (who also has Addison's disease and requires daily medication and regular vet checkups).
