Staff at the Walton County Longhorn Steakhouse have banded together in an extraordinary act of camaraderie, rallying support for Kamryn Surig, a 17-year-old colleague who was critically injured in a tragic head-on collision. According to WSB-TV, Surig, who was life-flighted to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta-Egleston Hospital, suffered a broken femur, broken arm, and is in need of facial reconstructive surgery following the crash caused by an impaired driver.
In the wake of the accident, her Longhorn Steakhouse colleagues have wasted no time setting up a fundraiser to aid in the significant medical costs she now faces. A GoFundMe campaign was initiated by a coworker, which as of Sunday had amassed more than $3,600 of a $10,000 goal, according to the campaign's page. The owners of a Longhorn Steakhouse have pledged to match the donations, fortifying the collective effort to support Surig's long road to recovery.
Further details provided by FOX 5 Atlanta reveal that the teen, struck by a driver who was under the influence, is to undergo not only facial reconstructive surgery but also other unspecified procedures. Contributions to the GoFundMe exceed expectations as the community shows an outpouring of generosity, pushing the tally beyond 6,000 dollars to help with the Surig's medical expenses.
The GoFundMe page describes the harrowing incident in which the impaired driver reportedly swerved into kamryn's lane, causing a direct and violent impact. Her rehabilitation journey will be extensive, as she will be treated at a center to relearn how to walk again.
