SAUGUS — Saturday, Oct. 26, Chris Rescigno and his 12-year-old son Ryan were in a severe car accident in Londonderry, New Hampshire, on their way to a sporting event.
Kenny DeModena, a close friend of Chris, started a GoFundMe to help raise money for the family during this difficult time.
According to DeModena, “After the accident, they were taken to a hospital in Manchester, but they weren’t able to do anything there for Ryan. He had to be med-flighted to Boston Children’s Hospital.”
Ryan took the brunt of the accident, leaving him seriously injured, while Chris’s injuries will keep him out of work for the foreseeable future.
“Chris and his wife Emily have three children. Ryan is the oldest. Ryan is very involved in sports, and Chris goes to every game. He’s constantly driving the kids everywhere. He and his wife are always very involved, and there for them,” DeModena said.
According to DeModena, Ryan has shown signs of recovery and was discharged from the ICU Oct. 31.
The Rescigno family is currently in need of help from the community to get them through this tough time, DeModena said.
The GoFundMe campaign is called Support Chris and Ryan’s Recovery Journey. DeModena and the Rescigno family greatly appreciate all donations and support that they receive. Donations cane be made at https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-chris-and-ryans-recovery-journey
