A fundraiser was organized by Michelle Pino to support her 14-year-old son, Kaezden, following a traumatic brain injury, according to an October 16 report.
Kaezden was hit by a car while riding his bike on Oct. 13, resulting in a severe traumatic brain injury that required emergency surgery.
Following the accident, Kaezden was life flighted to Primary Children's Hospital in critical condition. Due to severe swelling and bleeding on his brain, doctors performed surgery to remove the left side of his skull.
Kaezden remains in the ICU facing an uncertain situation and a long recovery process. The fundraiser seeks to cover costs including urgent brain surgery, travel, medical bills, daily living expenses, and missed time from work.
The funds raised through the GoFundMe campaign help the family manage unexpected expenses while Michelle Pino remains by her son's side. As of the report, the family is also working to care for their other son at home during the crisis.
