The family is looking for support from well-wishers as James is likely to be in the hospital for a while.
All donations will go to James and his family to help cover their living costs.
Millie said:" He has just received his second leg operation where the fractures were screwed together, skin transplanted and put in a cage for the next 18 months.
“Jay has a shattered hip which will be operated on next week along with a broken arm. Other injuries include, a broken nose, eight broken ribs, broken sternum, lacerated kidney and damaged spleen.
“Day 2 in the hospital Jay's body went into shock and his organs started to shut down but the incredible hospital team were able to manage it."
