Indy Student Stranded Overseas Now Recovering at Home
INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis student who was stranded overseas after he severely injured his back has made it back home.
Alex Kalscheur, 18, fell 30 feet from a wall while stargazing when he was visiting a friend in France. The fall broke two vertebrae in his back.
After a GoFundMe page raised tens of thousands of dollars, Kalscheur made it home. But his recovery is just getting started.
His intense rehab can cost up to $5,000 per day. The process could take as long as two years.
“I could heal from now until 2020 and still not be able to walk, but it’s kind of a wait-and-see kind of thing,” Kalscheur said. “I would love to be able to dance again.”
