Help Support Grayson’s Road to Recovery

On June 8th, 2025, Sam’s world was turned upside down when her 11-year-old son, Grayson, fell victim to a senseless act of violence. Grayson was critically injured for reasons we may never know and required emergency surgery to repair the damage.

He was airlifted to the University of Tennessee Medical Center for surgery and then transferred to Children’s Hospital in Knoxville. Though he made it through the procedure, his condition remains critical, and the days ahead are uncertain. Sam and her partner have not left his side, determined to be there for every moment of his recovery.

Meanwhile, Grayson’s two younger brothers are staying with trusted friends and family while Sam and her partner focus on Grayson’s healing. The road ahead is filled with challenges—emotionally and financially.

Between missed work, travel to and from Knoxville, meals on the go, and other unexpected costs, the expenses are adding up quickly. We’re asking for help to lighten the load so this family can focus on what matters most: Grayson’s recovery and each other.

Your donations will go directly toward:

✨ Hospital and medical expenses not covered by insurance

✨ Travel and lodging expenses in Knoxville

✨ Meals and daily costs while away from home

✨ Covering bills and lost income from missed work

Every dollar and every share helps Sam, her partner, and Grayson through this devastating time. If you can’t donate, prayers are appreciated more than you know.

Thank you for standing with Grayson and his family during this heartbreaking and uncertain time.
