My name is Isaiah Thomas. I am 18 years old and this is my senior year at Dutchtown High School. I have been playing basketball since I was twelve years old. I have aspirations to be a basketball player at a University while studying to become a software engineer. I am asking for your help because on August 18th, 2023 my life was altered forever. On that day, I went to a high school football game and was shot. I did not ask to be shot and I did not entice this violent crime on myself. One of the bullets severed my spinal cord and is lodged in my spine. I am asking for your help to pay for rehabilitation at Shepard's Center in Atlanta,Ga. Anything you can give is a blessing. Thank you in advance.
