Rise Up for CJ

On August 31, 2025, CJ, at just 22 years old, was celebrating one of the happiest moments of his life—sharing the exciting news that he will soon become a father to his son, Noah, due in January 2026.

But the very next day, on September 1, CJ’s life took a devastating turn. He was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury. By God’s grace, CJ survived, and today he is stable and showing incredible strength. He continues to impress not only his family and friends, but also his nurses, doctors, and surgeons with his resilience and determination.

CJ now faces a long road to recovery. His journey will include months in a rehabilitation center, followed by years of physical therapy, medical appointments, and ongoing care. As a family, we are standing together to support him in every way we can, but we know this path will bring many challenges—financial, physical, and emotional.

We created this fund to help cover CJ’s medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and the unknowns that lie ahead as he learns to navigate this new chapter of his life. With Noah on the way, it’s more important than ever to give CJ the best chance at healing and building a future where he can be the amazing father we all know he will be.

CJ is the most kind-hearted, selfless, and generous person you could ever meet. He has always gone out of his way to lift the burdens of others, bringing laughter, light, and love even in his toughest moments. Now, we are asking for help to do the same for him.

Even the smallest contribution can make a big difference. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, prayers, and support as we help CJ and baby Noah step into this new chapter together.
