Hi, my name is Melissa. I’m reaching out today in hopes to help my big brother, Joe Long.

Joe is a workhorse and an amazing painter. Unfortunately, my brother had an accident while working and fell 9 ft. We feel so blessed that his injuries weren’t life-threatening. Thank you, GOD.

Although we recognize our blessings, this tragedy has left my brother in need of help from his loved ones and friends.

Joe fractured his vertebrae and shattered his heel. He has had surgery on his heel. He has to wear a back brace and has a huge cast on his foot. Joe will be in his cast for months and eventually need physical therapy. All of this will keep him from working for 4 months. I’m asking for donations to help him pay for outrageous medical bills and personal living expenses that are piling up. I’m trying to relieve his monetary stress so he can concentrate on his physical healing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
