A Seattle man is fighting for his life in Mexico after being severely injured by ocean wave.

“And unfortunately, my brother was struck by a wave from behind when he was exiting the ocean. And that wave threw him straight into the sandy ocean where he broke his neck,” Adam Griffis, his younger brother, said. “Evan required not only a food tube connected straight into his stomach, but a tracheostomy to assist with his breathing,” Griffis said.
Friends have set up a GoFundMe to help cover the costs to get Evan back into the States. He says as of now, insurance won’t cover the costs to move his brother to a hospital state side. The family expects this to cost over $100,000. But he says ever since word got out about what happened to Evan, the donations have come pouring in.
