Bradd and Alayna Scott's son, Braden Scott, has suffered a major accident on Australia and locals are coming together to help the local family and are calling on the community for support.
While Braden was camping at Valla Beach with his family and friends he tragically dove into a shallow waters hitting the sandbar below, resulting in him breaking all seven vertebrae in his neck, leaving him on a ventilator at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane and with a long, hard road to recovery for both Braden and his family.
Locals have come together to help the family with a gofundme page and fundraising tins which will be found at local businesses like The Bush Chemist.
"A once hard working young man's life has taken a huge turn and now changed for the worse," a friend of the family said.
"Now fighting every day to get his strength back to get his life back.
