FILLMORE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — AMR paramedic Tim Hoffman suffered a severe head injury when his ambulance was hit by a drunk driver earlier this month. He's been in the hospital ever since.
Hoffman's family opened a GoFundMe account last week to raise money for his medical expenses. Since then, over $36,000 dollars has been donated towards the paramedic's bills, with an overall goal of raising $100,000.
Updates written by his family on the page reveal that the Hoffman is still in critical condition, but he is being weaned off the use of a ventilator.
One of Hoffman's nurses said that he is "right on the edge of a coma and being awake," but the medic has briefly regained consciousness several times throughout his hospital stay.
Hoffman, an 11-year paramedic with AMR, was in the back of an ambulance when a pickup truck collided head-on with the vehicle.
Though he is still in critical condition, his family remains optimistic and is grateful for the support he's received since being admitted to the hospital.
"I am so incredibly overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support that our family, friends, and community have shown since Tim's accident," his wife wrote Tuesday. "I wish I could thank each and every person individually, but for now I will just say a big THANK YOU for everything!"
You can donate to Tim Hoffman, or just check up on his condition, at his GoFundMe page.
