Marcos's Battle: A Community's Call to Action

Support Marcos Villaman’s Recovery After Tragic Shooting
A Father, A Coach, A Fighter

Marcos Villaman, a devoted father of two, former William Allen High School football player, and active member of the Lehigh Valley sports community, is in critical condition after being the victim of a senseless act of violence. Gunshots were fired into his Macungie home, leaving him paralyzed and fighting for his life.

Marcos is a man known for his strength, discipline, and heart. He’s spent his adult life active—going to the gym, playing sports, and giving back to his community as the head coach of the Lower Macungie Youth Baseball team. More than anything, he lives for his children.

When he wasn’t coaching or spending time with his kids, Marcos found peace and joy on the golf course. He loved golf—not just the game, but the calm, the focus, and the moments shared with friends. It was a passion that reflected his character: patient, driven, and always striving to improve.

Why We Need Your Help
This tragic incident has turned the lives of Marcos and his family upside down. His mother will now take on the role of full-time caregiver, all while navigating mounting medical expenses, therapy, home accommodations, and the needs of Marcos’s two children.

Your donations will help cover:

Immediate and ongoing medical expenses

Rehabilitation and therapy

Mobility equipment and accessibility modifications

Daily living expenses for his mother and children

Long-term support during this life-altering time

A Call to Our Community
Marcos gave his all—to his team, to his kids, and to his passions. Now we have a chance to give back. Whether it’s $5 or $500, every contribution makes a difference. If you can’t donate, please share this link and help us spread the word.

Let’s come together to lift up someone who has lifted so many others.

Thank you for your support.
