Support Lucas's Healing Journey

Donation protected
Hello, I'm Amanda, and on June 01, 2025, MY son Lucas was hit by a car, while on a bicycle!

THANKFULLY he is fine, and walked away with JUST a concussion, some bruising, and a bit of pain. I'm beyond words, and am so thankful that no one involved was severely injured.

I kept him home from school for a couple days after, and when he was cleared to go back to school (with restrictions- if a headache, or pain presented, etc) he was a trooper, and went... but had to go to the nurse often for rest/a quiet/darker space, ibuprofen, and/or tylenol for headache, and neck pain/swallowing pain.

He even was allowed by his teacher, and staff to be able to wear sun glasses, and noise canceling headphones. He unfortunately had to stay at the nurse's office longer today, because he was also feeling nauseous. Clearly his body is still healing/trying to recover.

His teacher, and I agreed that it's probably best to keep him home from school tomorrow, and have him get rest, and do so over the weekend too (clearly I can't sleep). He is to have his school field day on this upcoming Tuesday, and his teacher, and I think I should keep him home on that day too. We are honestly trying to avoid any risk of his symptoms getting worse, and not giving him the proper time to heal/recover. He is going to be so upset, or maybe disappointed that he has to miss a "fun day".

So here I am, i'm asking more so from our FAMILY, and FRIENDS... who have asked if there was anything they could do to help Lucas, or me/his siblings out during this time.

I was thinking to use any money raised to buy him a newer helmet (that we can go pick out together), so he is more prone to wanting to wear it! He's been loving uno, but the big card version (they have one at one of the restaurants around here), and so I'd like to find that for him.. a stuffed animal, or new blanket .. as he's had to, and still needs much more rest time.

He has had to limit, or have no tablet/screen time ...

Another thing I'd spend the money on, is taking him out to do something on the day he has to miss out on, with his classmates/at school. If anyone has some concussion safe activities I could take him to, I'd love to hear them.

Love,
Amanda, and Lucas
