Hawes was injured when he fell off a ladder doing yard work.
A fundraiser was held Saturday to help cover the cost of medical bills and support his family.
"It's been a tough week around here, guys are rallying," Hanover Fire Captain Justin Reed told FOX25 Friday. "To see him in that condition, it's heartbreaking."
