Kyle Lawrence

On the morning of August 28th, Bandon High Senior Kyle Lawrence was hit by a vehicle on Highway 101 near Pacific High School. He was soon transported to Legacy Emanuel Children’s Hospital in Portland, where he was listed in critical condition. Kyle sustained serious injuries from the accident, including a fractured skull, a broken thumb, and a broken leg. Since the accident, Kyle has undergone surgeries for his injuries and is now in stable condition. Though he has shown great improvement, he has yet to regain consciousness.
Almost immediately after Kyle’s accident, meetings were held to organize benefits for he and his family. People in the community have become especially active in helping the Lawrence family through this hardship. The people of Bandon show a great willingness to help; be it dropping a few coins in the can at the grocery store or volunteering at a fundraising event. There will be several events in the near future to raise money for the Lawrence family. It is urged that anyone who can volunteer any time at all does so. The efforts of those who volunteer are greatly appreciated. We are eagerly awaiting the return of our friend to school and wish him a full and quick recovery.
