Kyle's Spinal Surgery Fund
Donation protected
On January 27th, 2017, my cousin, Kyle Joseph was critically injured in a car accident in our home country, St. Lucia. Unfortunately, his spinal column was damaged (fracture at C6 and C7) and he is experiencing weakness in his upper body and unable to feel or move anything in his lower body.
My family has been informed that surgery is needed and while it will not guarantee a full recovery, there is hope it will help. The healthcare system in St. Lucia is different from that in the U.S. The total cost of the surgery will be approximately $42,000 E.C. (~16,000 U.S. dollars) and the surgeons are asking for at least $29,000 E.C. (~11,000 U.S. dollars) upfront before doing the surgery. My aunt (his mom) has gone to the insurance company everyday for the past week and a half and has had no luck in determining if they will be able to help offset the cost.
We will be approaching two weeks since the accident and it is critical he has the surgery soon. The more time that passes, the less likely for recovery.
Thus, I have started this fundraiser to help my family offset some of those costs. Anything you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Kyle and his girlfriend recently had a baby girl, Kayan, in August and she has been the light of his life. I understand if you can't provide financially. But, I do ask for you prayers and well wishes to keep Kyle strong, stable, and his spirits uplifted so he can pull through for his family.
Thank you,
Rosa Joseph
