A PERSONAL NOTE / For Your Love & Support.To my Dearest Customers, Friends & Family. On July 7, my son Colin had a motor vehicle accident with severe brain injuries. He’s stable but still in Neuro ICU & it's been a rollercoaster. Until he’s fully alert we will not know the extent of his injuries.His doctors have told us he needs time, whether it’s 6 months, 1 year or more. Time will tell.Friday July 21st was an emotional day as it was the first day he opened his right eye. July 25th they removed his ventilator, so he can breathe with some oxygen that he gets from his trach. He has gradually been moving his left arm & leg, and we starting to see some movement in his right hand & arm. All positive baby steps on his road to recovery.There have been so many good signs, lots of emotional support from family, friends & the entire community, so I thank you for being here. His wife Rachel & their sweet girls Eleni 5 1/2 & Esme 3 as well as Colin will need as much support as possible.Here's where I’d like to ask you to help in any way you can. Any amount you donate to the GoFundMe [link in bio] will go a long way to help pay Colin's astronomic medical bills (not covered by his health insurance), his stay in acute rehab facility, (which could be months), not to mention that he cannot work so there's no income. Rachel also had to give up her job too. Thank you for your support from the bottom of my heart 🙏💙 Please continue to pray for Colin.With hope, love, & gratitude,Elena by @busstopboutique
