Joe's Story

Hi, My name is Ben and I coach lacrosse for all ages and in different parts of the States. A few days ago, Joe was riding down a public walking trail on his 2 wheeler when a pickup truck struck him from the side at one of the trail entrances.

Joe was airlifted to a hospital in Milwaukee, WI shortly after to tend to his injuries. The doctors recommended putting Joe in a medical healing state until he could combat the pain. A few days later, Joe awoke. 

Amongst all of Joe's coaches, teammates, friends, and family - we all agree that Joe is a beacon of light in our lives and we would like to see his smile once again so we are praying for him diligently.

Please donate even the smallest donation so that we can help Joe and his family return from this terrible event.

P.s. all proceeds - except cost of GoFundMe - go to Joe and his family.

Update: Joe has awoken and spoken a few words

Thank you so very much,

Benjamin Durkin + Pulaski Lacrosse
