I said to him that Paying it Forward is just that, use the resources available to you while you are incapacitated and when you are able to, give back when needed.
This young man is standing his ground though, and saying that with the help of his parents, with possible support from EI he 'should' be ok, although I am not sure he is really thinking clearly, especially with the possibility of what, $20,000 or more worth of implants having to be installed?
We gave him the link from Tirebob, thank you again, I am sure he will look into that as well.
The dental thing has me furious, why does AHC not cover it???

Hang tight for now guys, if and when he decides he is willing to accept our help I will update again. Of course a young guy like this saying he can make it on his own makes me want to give more. Quite the paradox.

Thank you for the generous offers on here and in PM, you members with the true hearts make the forum. You know who you are.
i will stress it again the tirebob link its great loink and resource, the paperwork is bit of work but its worth it in the end. i think the victim is eligible upwards of $50k depending on the crime /injurys , think of it as paying it forward.. the money is funded by Alberta law enforcement throught the proceed of crime confiscation .

hope he get a speedy recovery !!
