"Chris is registered blind and was unfortunately involved in a horrible accident along with his lovely guide dog, Inca. Chris was subsequently hit by a subway train at Bridge Street Station in on October 3 2019.
"No one expected him to live but he has defied the odds thus far and has survived to tell the tale. While he isn’t out of the woods just yet, he’s strong and determined!
"Due to the severity of his injuries, is expected to stay in hospital for a year. His will take at least two years.
"After his return from hospital Chris will have to relocate from his top floor flat to a residence on the ground floor. As you can imagine, the life changing injuries he has sustained will require extensive physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
"He will therefore require a lot of extra care and support.
"The cost to him and his family will be significant. If you wish to support and his family in their hour of need, any donations would be greatly appreciated."
So far £1120 has been raised for Christopher.
