Go Fund Me: Motorcycle Accident Victim Needs Help

http://www.gofundme.com/f5t6yg is the URL.

GoFundMe.com is a site where people in need of help to pay medical bills, funeral expenses, and things of that nature, go to ask for help.

Typically, the donors are individuals who know the people involved.

Well, I know the mother of this young man, and I thought I'd post it on Crowdfunder Magazine just to see if it was possible to get some country-wide help.

Of course, if you go through the campaigns on GoFundMe.com you'll find a lot of worthy campaigns to donate to. Even donating just $5 to 5 campaigns, of things that catch your interest, would be a great help.

Philip's mom has hired a personal injury attorney, but it will be several - several - months before any settlement is made. The need for money to pay bills is now.

Indeed, from the info his mom has been sharing, it's extremely complicated when someone's son has been involved in an accident, as she has no power of attorney to do anything with his money, and he is not compos mentis to assign one to her. (One would hope a judge would be able to see that he *can't* make a decision, and since she's his mother and plenty of witnesses could be called to testify that they are on perfect terms, so there's no reason why she shouldn't be granted power of attorney.. - that's something I'm going to research into, just for general info purposes.) Anyway, enough of that segue.

If you'd care to help, please visit his GoFundMe.com page.
