Seyi & Josh Recovery

On the evening of March 14th, Josh and Seyi experienced something no one should ever go through. What should have been a celebration of Josh's brother's birthday took a violent turn when, following a brief verbal exchange, they were brutally attacked by two individuals who pulled knives without warning on 17th Avenue.

Josh and Seyi are both in their early 20s and have always been known for their kindness and peaceful nature. They’ve never been the type of people to go looking for conflict. They are the kind of friends who lift others, make those around them feel safe, and would never harm anyone. That’s why this completely unprovoked attack is so difficult to understand.

The injuries they sustained are nothing short of heartbreaking. Josh suffered a punctured lung and perforated muscles from multiple stab wounds. Seyi suffers extensive damage to his gastrointestinal tract and is in critical condition. Both of them are now fighting to heal in the hospital, and the road to recovery is long, painful, and uncertain.

For over a week now, Josh and Seyi have been fighting through the pain in the hospital, enduring surgery and medical treatments. Their families have been by their sides every day, and the emotional toll on their loved ones has been just as devastating as the physical injuries. Their parents and family have had to take time off work to support their sons and brothers- the financial burden of lost wages and rehabilitation will soon become overwhelming. For Josh and Seyi, the physical pain is matched by the mental strain of this traumatic event—knowing that they were just living their lives when they were violently attacked without reason.

This GoFundMe is to help alleviate some of the burden they and their families are facing. Every dollar will go toward rehabilitation costs, lost wages from Josh and Seyi’s time away from work, and supporting their families during this intense period. Donations will also help cover future expenses for ongoing care, physiotherapy, and mental health support as they continue their recovery.

Josh, Seyi, and their families are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and support they have already received. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will make a significant difference in their lives as they heal and rebuild.

Please consider donating and sharing this page to help these two through the most difficult time of their lives. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
