Daulton Potter’s Ride to Recovery Family Food Drive

Bensalem, PA

Story

Daulton Potter is a 16 year old from Bensalem, Pa. On Friday, March 15, 2019 around 4pm Daulton was involved in a tragic dirt bike accident. He was rushed to Jefferson Hospital in the Torresdale section of Philadelphia where he currently remains in the ICU in a  comatose state. ​Daulton suffered severe brain damage and severing of the neurons, broken bones, cuts, carotid artery damage and traumas resulting in a battery of surgeries. He has been in critical condition since the day of the accident. Cat Scans have confirmed that he is recovering from his injuries, however he has a very long road ahead of him. He currently has rods and pins in his hip, leg, both arms and had repairs to three areas of his face and jaw. He now has a tracheostomy, semi-permanent feeding tube and PICC line: he may require future visits to the OR.  ​As a result of the accident and the nature of his injuries, Daulton’s parents, Kristin Bastedo Potter and Derek Potter have alternated and  remain at his bedside day and night in addition to raising their three other children Dominic, 17; Kentesa, 14 and Kaylana 10 who are also affected by this situation. Additionally, involved in the accident was a dear friend of the family, he succumbed to his injuries shortly after the accident. ​Family and friends, we are currently seeking donations for Daulton’s family.  All donations and proceeds from this go directly to the Bastedo/Potter Family. If you are interested in donating anything, whether food, drinks, something for a home or  a monetary donation or need something picked up please contact Kristin’s sister: Lisa Bastedo 267-549-4460 or [email protected] We appreciate all donations! We would like to thank you for everything!  Thank you in advance, Lisa Bastedo
