[Le français suit]

Our son Olivier is 15 years old — bright, witty, and endlessly curious. He’s a self-taught Minecraft coder, fantasy book lover, podcast listener, cooking wizard, leisurely runner, biker, skier, and the kind of kid who teases you just enough to make you smile.

Just recently, a freak accident turned Olivier’s life upside down. His leg was severely injured, and we had to improvise a tourniquet for several long minutes, fearing for his life. He was saved just in time, but despite multiple surgeries, doctors had to perform a knee-level amputation to save his life.

Olivier now faces a long journey of healing and adaptation. He remains in intensive care, and will go through acute care followed by several months of rehab. Risks like infection and further surgery still lie ahead — but he’s here, he’s himself, and he’s alive.

While his strength and humor remain, Olivier’s recovery will require long-term care and resources beyond what public and private insurance can offer. Experts expect his lifetime needs to be significant.

That's why we’re aiming to raise an initial $100,000 to help cover:

  • 🦿A high-quality prosthetic leg (more funds will be needed later for replacements as he grows)
  • 🏡 Home adaptations in both parents' homes (we co-parent)
  • 🧠 Mental health support
  • 📚 Educational support during hospitalization (and beyond)
  • 🚲 Adapted equipment for independence and mobility
  • 🏋️‍♂️ Ongoing physical therapy and training

Your donation will help Olivier regain his freedom, continue doing the things he loves, and exploring the world on his own terms.

In return, you become part of Olivier’s journey. Every contribution — big or small — helps him stand tall again — with confidence, strength, and joy.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you.

– Olivier’s family ❤️

P.S. – We’re grateful for the support we have—something not all amputees are lucky to have. That’s why any donations beyond our initial goal will partly go to charities supporting amputees in Canada and around the world.

_____________________________________________

[English version above]

Notre fils Olivier a 15 ans — brillant, drôle, curieux et débrouillard. Il a appris à coder sur Minecraft par lui-même, adore les romans fantastiques, écoute des balados, aime la cuisine, court pour le plaisir, fait du vélo, du ski alpin, et c’est le genre d'ado taquin qui te bombarde de blagues juste pour te faire sourire.

Tout récemment, un accident a bouleversé la vie d’Olivier. Sa jambe a été gravement blessée, et nous avons dû improviser un garrot pendant de longues minutes, craignant pour sa vie. Il a été sauvé de justesse, mais malgré plusieurs chirurgies, les médecins ont dû procéder à une amputation au niveau du genou pour lui sauver la vie.

Olivier entame maintenant un long parcours de guérison. Il est toujours aux soins intensifs et passera ensuite par les soins aigus, puis par une réadaptation qui durera plusieurs mois. Des risques d'infection et de complications médicales persistent, mais l’essentiel est là : il est avec nous, bien vivant.

Même si sa force et son humour demeurent intacts, la réadaptation d’Olivier nécessitera des soins de longue durée et des ressources qui dépassent ce que peuvent offrir les assurances publiques et privées. Selon les experts, ses besoins à long terme seront importants.

C'est pourquoi nous visons un premier objectif de 100 000 $ pour couvrir :

  • 🦿 Une prothèse de qualité (d'autres fonds seront nécessaires plus tard pour des remplacements à mesure qu’il grandit)
  • 🏡 Des adaptations dans les deux maisons parentales (on partage la garde)
  • 🧠 Du soutien psychologique
  • 📚 Du soutien scolaire pendant l’hospitalisation (et au-delà!)
  • 🚲 Du matériel adapté pour favoriser son autonomie
  • 🏋️‍♂️ De la physio et de l’entraînement à long terme

Chaque don, message ou partage fera une vraie différence. Vous aiderez Olivier à retrouver son autonomie, à continuer de faire ce qu’il aime et à explorer le monde à sa façon.

Chaque contribution — grande ou petite — l’aidera à se relever avec confiance, force et joie.

Merci du fond du cœur — La famille d’Olivier ❤️

P.-S. – Nous sommes reconnaissants du soutien dont nous bénéficions, ce qui n’est pas le cas de tous les amputés. C’est pourquoi une partie des dons dépassant notre objectif initial sera versée à des organismes qui soutiennent les personnes amputées au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde.
