Maddox Graser is a sophomore at Wooster High School, a dedicated baseball player, and a teammate and friend to so many. He’s the kind of kid who shows up, works hard, and loves the game—and the people around him. Just days ago, Maddox was on the field doing what he loves most. He played in a game, celebrated a big win, and everything seemed completely normal. No one could have imagined how quickly everything would change.

Later that evening, Maddox became suddenly and severely ill. What started as sickness at home quickly turned into something far more serious. He was rushed to the hospital in Wooster, and as his condition worsened, he was life-flighted to Akron Children’s Hospital. He is now in the Pediatric ICU. His family went from watching him play baseball to sitting beside his hospital bed in a matter of hours. There are no words for the kind of fear, heartbreak, and helplessness they are facing right now. No parent should ever have to go through something like this. No family is ever prepared for it.

Right now, Maddox needs a miracle. We are asking for support to help ease the overwhelming burden on his family during this unimaginable time. Donations will go toward medical and/or funeral expenses, time away from work, and anything they may need as they stay by his side and focus on what matters most—Maddox. If you’re not able to donate, please consider sharing this page. And most importantly, please keep Maddox and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Every bit of support, love, and prayer means more than words can express. Thank you for standing with Maddox and his family during this incredibly difficult time.

The family read and approved this "go fund me" about Maddox. They will give an update when they are ready.
