We are gathering here to support Joseph and the Shramko family. We are all devastated by Joseph's accident which occurred while he was over 900 miles away from home.  He is in critical condition and the greatest risk he is facing is the trauma to his brain causing it to swell and the dangerous pressures inside his skull.  

Joseph is a wonderful, caring young man with a bright mind. He is a wicked fast runner in cross country and track, has a spirit of adventure in him, is close with his family, and like most teens, Joseph loves his time with friends!

We know the Shramko family has touched many lives. This loving family's world is being torn apart and the distance between them will make the days and weeks ahead more difficult to bear.  We don't know what the future holds for them and it is beyond any imagination the amount of fear, pain, and grief that they are going through.

While we are all united in prayer for Joseph and his family,  we ask you to consider a donation to provide support and assistance for the next 30 days with a plan to reassess future needs.  All prayer and donations are greatly appreciated.
