Trust Fund Started for Boy Injured by Thrown Brick
A Coto de Caza family has started a trust fund for the family of Bryan Donis, the 5-year-old who was critically injured last Wednesday by a brick thrown from a freeway overpass in Huntington Beach.
Fred Dezwart, a 47-year-old accountant, said he started the fund with the former director of a day-care center attended by Bryan and Dezwart’s 12-year-old daughter.
Dezwart and others have contributed about $300 to the fund, which he said will help pay for medical and other expenses.
The trust fund is the second fund to be established in Bryan’s name. On Monday, a retired San Diego County physician opened an account at Washington Mutual Bank to raise money for a reward for information leading to the conviction of the brick-thrower.
Bryan was riding with his parents south on the San Diego Freeway near the McFadden Avenue overpass at about 12:50 a.m. Wednesday when a 5-pound paving brick smashed through the windshield, fracturing the child’s skull in at least two places and breaking his mother’s arm.
He remained in critical but stable condition Monday at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact the California Highway Patrol at (714) 892-4426.
Donations to the trust fund can be sent to Sun Country Bank care of Bryan Donis, 30100 Town Center Drive, Suite Q, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677.
