Help Cousin James!

Christmas night, James McElyea and his cousin Joe Grosvent were attacked near Hanover Square after a confrontation over harassment of an older, homeless gentleman. Joe suffered minor injuries, while James suffered a much more severe assult, taking repeated blows the the head and fracturing his skull. This resulted in the formation of a bruising and a blood clot to the brain & has a lot of recovery ahead of him. So now we are asking for help for him, his wife and four children while he is away from home and work for over the next few weeks.

Any donations will go to the cost of the hospital operation and stay, due to this not being fully covered by insurance. Also, proceeds will go towards the time missed at work, everyday bills, and cost of living for his family.

If you know of anything related to the attack, please call the Syracuse Police at (315) [phone redacted]. Thank you so much.
