Ivan is a kind-hearted, fun loving 16 year old who was a victim of the ongoing gun violence problem in the city of Philadelphia. Ivan suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of a gunshot wound he received earlier this week. Ivan loves playing football, hanging with friends and family, and enjoying life as any young boy should. But instead of doing what he loves, Ivan is currently fighting for his life in the ICU. Ivan and the family are eternally grateful for the outpouring of prayers and support they have been receiving, however financial support will also be needed in order to continue to give the best possible treatment that Ivan needs and deserves. Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated, please continue to keep them coming! **Rhiannon Hope, one of Ivan's parents, will be the beneficiary on this account. Together her and Ivan's family will oversee these donations and put them toward Ivan's medical expenses to continue getting him the care he needs.
