All,
My partner Fred's 15 year old son, Austin Fath, was severely injured in a accident on the night of Thursday December 30th. Austin was riding on the trunk lid of a friend's car in his neighborhood and fell. As a result of his fall Austin suffered a sevear head injury. He underwent surgery New Years Day to relieve some pressure but is still in critical condition.
We are currently in the process of setting up some benefits on the Northshore, including a dinner night at Chillie's in Mandeville. We have also discussed the posibility of a fund raiser night at a local establishment with door prizes and raffles. As for now, donations are being accepted to help with expences at the Mandeville Police Department located at 1870 US Hwy 190 and all Louisiana Capital One Bank Locations.
Austin's medical expences are expected to be very high, and we are not sure how long he will require care. As for now the family is bouncing back and forth from Mandeville to the hospital.
I will keep everyone apprised of Austin's condition as Fred makes me aware.
Just a little background on Austin, as I know it.
He is a student at Lakeshore High School in Mandeville. He is a member of their Marine Corps JROTC program and had expressed a desire in serving in the military.
He is a normal High School kid. Video Games, Facebook, and the other usual teenage boy activities. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times over the last few months that I have been working with his dad and he struck me a damn good kid. As for Fred, I don't know a better guy or cop. He is always joking around and putting a smile on people's faces. Now were trying to return the cheer.
Please keep Austin and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Also on behalf of Fred (and I)- Thanks to the STPSO Deputies and St Tammant FD4guys on the scene for the great work. I know those guys get crapped on alot, especially in the press and on the net, so thanks a million. Hopefully we never get a chance to repay you guys.
Thank you.
