Calgary Boy, 9, Recovering in Hospital After Nearly Drowning in B.C. River
GoFundMe has raised over $17,000 to help cover medical and travel costs as Paul-Angelo Warren recovers in hospital.
- On August 3, nine-year-old Paul-Angelo Warren nearly drowned while swimming in the Shuswap River near Enderby, B.C., and remains in a medically induced coma at Vancouver Children's Hospital.
- Paul-Angelo was trapped underwater by driftwood for five to 10 minutes before bystanders, including off-duty health care professionals, rescued him and performed CPR, the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP reported.
- Laura Bishop launched a GoFundMe to support the Warrens, who face "overwhelming" financial hardship while his mother stopped working and his father remains without employment benefits.
- As of Wednesday, the GoFundMe has raised over $21,000 toward its $30,000 goal, and Paul-Angelo shows encouraging recovery signs by squeezing his parents' hands.
- Once strong enough, Paul-Angelo will be airlifted to the Alberta Children's Hospital in Calgary, with the family using funds to cover travel, accommodations, and living expenses.
