Fund Set Up to Support Dallas Boy Injured in Freak Accident

The community is coming together to support a Dallas boy who suffered severe injuries in a freak accident during the Thanksgiving break.

A GoFundMe account has been set up for Christopher Hamilton, who was injured while helping his grandparents move. During the move, a chest of drawers fell on Hamilton’s head, breaking bones in his face and causing spinal fluid to leak into his eyes and naval cavities, the Paulding County School District said on Facebook (read more below).

The account was set up to raise money to help defray medical costs and support the family, which has three other children at home.

“Christmas is fast approaching, medical bills are rising and mounting and there is never enough paid leave from work when your child needs you. Let’s join together as a community and give back just a little of what the Hamiltons have given to us over the years! And please don’t forget to keep sending up those prayers for Christopher!” — Christopher Hamilton GoFundMe page.

As of Monday morning, nearly $3,000 of the targeted $10,000 had been raised.

Here’s what the Paudling school district posted on Facebook:
