A fundraiser has been set up to help a young man who has been left with spinal cord and brain injuries after a horror bike accident.
Lucky Barquez, 23, who is living in Dublin and is originally from the Philippines, was injured when his bike struck a tree in the Wicklow Mountains earlier this month. Following the accident, Lucky was rushed to hospital and he remains in St Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin where he is receiving treatment for spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries.
This week, Lucky's friends have set up a GoFundMe campaign to help support him in his recovery and they are hoping to raise €30,000 to help with his rehabilitation. Joanna Stolarczyk, a friend and work colleague of Lucky's from Lidl at Thomas Street in Dublin, told Dublin Live that Lucky is "loved by everyone".
