Family members are working to raise money for a worker whose leg was amputated after a terrible construction accident in east Georgia.
The accident happened in a Grovetown subdivision on May 22 when a worker got caught in a concrete curb machine, according to WJBF.
Grovetown Fire Rescue decided they needed to amputate the worker’s leg at the site and called a team of surgeons to help.
He was then flown to the hospital.
Family members identified him as Brad Santiago.
“We’re thankful he is still here with us today. He will continue to have surgeries and be in the hospital for quite some time,” Kayla Craig wrote on a GoFundMe page. “Anybody who knows Brad knows he is always a happy person and loves what he does out in the field with his brothers.”
The family hopes to raise $20,000 to help with medical bills, physical therapy, and making adjustments to his home. They also hope the money will help his fiancée, Shelby, stay with him as he recovers.
