According to local reports, a Georgia boy is selling lemonade around his neighborhood to pay his medical bills.
Teddy, a young boy from Locust Grove, Georgia, was hit by a car the day after Mother’s Day — less than two years after losing his own mother, according to Theodore Counihan, the boy’s father.
“The bike was really wedged up under the front of the car, so she hit him really good,” said Counihan.
“It’s been a chain of events for sure, and I’m very happy he’s here with us.”
Teddy sustained a skull fracture, a fractured tibia, fibula, and road rash. According to GoFundMe that Counihan has created in an effort to raise funds for the child’s medical bills.
Teddy’s father shared that the accident had kept him off of his bike and in the house, but the young boy felt he had to figure out a way to help with the debt.
“We needed to make up an idea to raise money for the hospital bills,” Teddy Fox 5 Atlanta reported the news.
According to the family, any donation is appreciated.
The GoFundMe has currently raised a little under $6,000 of its $20,000 goal.
