A fundraiser has been launched for a seven year old from Battleford involved in a quad rollover.
Jaxon Guthrie was involved in that rollover Aug. 25 and flown by STARS Ambulance in critical condition to the Jim Pattison Childrens Hospital.
A GoFundMe site has been set up to help his family. According to that page, his mother Megan Guthrie, along with her parents, drove to Saskatoon and waited while Jaxon underwent five hours of brain surgery just after midnight.
“Jaxon is such a happy little guy that is so full of life! He is funny and has many talents. He loves all the sports, lake days, socializing with his friends at school, hockey & the B+G Club. He attends hockey camps every year & loves to be with his mama no matter what she is up to.
“Megan is one of the most caring, compassionate people I have known. Her son is her entire world and everything she does is for him. She is a hard-working single mother, who will now have to stay with Jaxon in the hospital during his recovery in the coming months. PLEASE keep this family in your thoughts & prayers, and if you have even $5 to spare, it would help immensely with the financial burden this will bring.”
The Battlefords North Stars also issued a statement “sending prayers” to Jaxon and his family. They stated on Facebook that Jaxon was in their hockey school that week, and encouraged people to go to the GoFundMe page and help out.
The GoFundMe link can be found at https://gf.me/v/c/p8bh/jaxon-amp-megan-guthrie . As of Thursday morning they had exceeded their initial fundraising goal, raising $13,485.
