Aid for Joel’s Tragic Accident

As many of you may know, my father and I were involved in a severe car accident which took place Monday night, January 4th, 2021. 

My dear father has been critically injured in the crash and is in a medically induced coma in the ICU at Southside Hospital in Bayshore. He suffered a broken neck and spine, and is on a ventilator with a collapsed lung. Preparing for surgery today, Wednesday the 6th, additional scans revealed that he has also suffered a stroke and is not able to undergo surgery at this time. He was unable to wake up from the coma state on his own and is not responding to verbal commands, although his brain function appears to be in tact. 

I am raising money for medical expenses, potential aftercare, monthly bills, damages, overall financial support, as well as any other unforeseen costs. Please give what you can but do not give your last.

I would like to express my gratitude for all of the outpouring of love and support for my extraordinary father, who has not had an easy time in life- yet somehow managed to remain unwavering in his mission to be the most selfless and caring individual I have ever known. He is my best friend and number one supporter. As I write the tears come, ever-reminding me of what he means to me, and that his departure would be a devastating loss. 

Please keep my father, Joel, Big Joel, Nubs, Joe Fingers, Senior, or whatever else you may know him as, in your thoughts and prayers as I stand by him in this fight. My heart goes out to him and to you, who have been in relentless pursuit of answers regarding his condition, and continue to express a great deal of concern for his well-being. 

Thank You All,
Sincerely,
Joel Kramer Junior
