solo dad hit an run victim

help needed to try restart life

Rotorua, Bay Of Plenty

hi my name is Rowan I've been a solo dad for the past 11 year's . a few months ago my life nearly ended as I was involved in a crash. I was on a electric scooter. an a disqualified drunk driver pretty much run me over. he left the scene of the crash leaving me for dead

I suffered a broken leg in 3 places broken knee cap cracked my hip torn my thigh muscle off my knee broke my thumb broke my wrist an broke my arm an i also broke my jaw in 3 places too . with my leg my fema stuck out the side of my leg an snapped off 10 cm of it I now have a bone graft with someone else's bone in my leg an a metal rod from my hip to my knee.

When the bone cut through my leg I lost so much blood I nearly died from loss of blood an then from the broken jaw I ended up with fluid buildup in my skull. this could have killed me or left me brain damaged. I have got major issues with memory an my mental health I'm just not ok. I have a Brain scan in a couple of months to see if I have permanent damage.

The reason I have made this page is not so much for myself but for my daughters sake. because of my injuries I'm unable to work an provided for her the way I should an i don't want her to grow up an leave home with nothing an the way things are that's how it's going to be an it breaks my hart .the next part is we have no vehicle so for me getting around is a complete nightmare it takes me half an hour just to go get milk from around the corner.

ACC will provide some financial support towards certain things

Use of funds

I am hoping to raise enough funds firstly for a car to assist in day-to-day travel, any additional funds raised after that will go to other costs such as living expenses, my daughter's education, hopefully something towards her first car too
