Sending healing thoughts, strength and prayers to Carter, as well as his family and friends. I pray that his friend who saved him, along with the good samaritan that helped, have help guiding them through the trauma that they may have now after witnessing such horrendous injuries. My heart breaks at how traumatic it must have been for all to witness but most especially for Carter being awake through it all. Strength and fortitude to the doctors and nurses as they help Carter's body to heal and stay healthy. Thinking of you all and sending hugs and prayers from Ontario, Canada.

We and friends from Bradenton Christian Reformed Church on the other side of Florida are all praying for healing for Carter and your family as you go through the difficult days ahead.. Thankful his pulses are good and they can start restorative surgery next week.

I volunteer with Carter at LMC. What a terrible thing to happen to such a sweet young man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

We are continuing to pray for you all. Praying you can tangibly feel the love and support of your community, and the loving arms of Christ himself.

My friend Kim from LMC shared Carter’s story. I will be praying for the family, supporting friends and medical team as you all go through this journey.

Dear Chuck and Leila,
Ken and I are sobbing as we read Carter’s journey that he is on and want you to know that our prayers and love are being offered up to the God who hears our prayers , and who loves Carter with a love that we can’t even comprehend..

May God hold you Carter, and comfort all of you.

Praying for all of you and especially for Carter. Aunt Florence

Your family has been and will continue to be in our prayers since the moment we found out about the accident. May God bless you with His presence, love, and care during this extremely difficult and challenging time.
