A dear friend of mine from my hometown posted this on her blog. I can't even begin to imagine the pain this family is in. Please pray for Blake's recovery and strength for his family. If you feel so inclined, there is info at the bottom of the post, as to how we can all help. May God bless you friends and may we hug and hold our children a little tighter tonight!
Dear Friends,
A child in my hometown community was critically injured when he was struck by a car. Please read his story:
On Wednesday April 27th, 8 year old Blake from Bonsall was out in the neighborhood with his parents and 3 brothers, 2, 3 ½ and 5. His 5 yr old brother Mason was chasing him on his scooter when Blake lost control down a hill. He was hit by an oncoming car and dragged 20 feet. His brother and parents witnessed the horror.
His father Richard dragged him out from underneath the car and held him until the paramedics came. Richard and Tiffany watched in agony while the paramedics tried to stabilize him. He was airlifted to Rady’s Children’s Hospital shortly after.
Blake is currently out of surgery from the broken femur and elbow, but in critical condition., semi-coma and a small hole in his brain to decrease the swelling. He has facial fractures and a punctured lung. Doctors are cautiously optimistic about brain damage. Only time will tell the extent of his brain injury.
The Cornish Family needs your prayers and financial assistance to get through the coming months and pay Blakes overwhelming medical bills. Please consider a donation of any amount, large or small, or gift cards for groceries, gas to get back and forth to San Diego, diapers for Brady whose only 2. One last request, please email this message to as many people as you know. Together, we can make something happen for Blake.
An account has been set up at Pacific Western Bank in Bonsall for Blake Cornish. You can also mail your donation or get well card to:
PO BOX 337, BONSALL, CA 92003
Please, please, please help this family. Skip your Starbucks this week and send something. Even $5 will help them. Also, please pray for him daily. I'll keep you updated.
