Local family seeks donations for young man’s recovery after severe car crash

CHARLIE LAKE, B.C. — A Charlie Lake family is raising money after a car collision seriously injured a young man.

Tate Hafner was reportedly involved in a car collision over the weekend that caused severe injuries.

According to a GoFundMe organized by his uncle, Cole, Hafner has since been flown to Vancouver, where he’s being treated and will remain hospitalized “for a minimum of two months.”

“In light of the situation, I’m reaching out to request donations to aid my sister [Tate’s mother Charlene] with the costs associated with this unforeseen circumstance,” Cole says on the GoFundMe page launched on September 9th.

“The financial support will be utilized to cover hotel accommodations, meals, and transportation, enabling my sister to stay by her son’s side during his recovery.”

As of 12:00 p.m. on September 10th, the GoFundMe has raised $2,875 out of its $5,000 goal.
