We are asking our union family, friends, and supporters to come together and stand behind our brother, Michael "Blake" McGraw, during this incredibly difficult time. Every donation—no matter the amount—will help cover critical medical and living expenses and allow him to focus on healing.

In the early morning hours of January 25, 2026, tragedy struck when Michael "Blake" McGraw was seriously injured in an unfortunate accident, resulting in an unexpected and extended stay at OSU Wexner Medical Center. He now faces a long and challenging road to recovery.

Michael "Blake" McGraw is a proud brother of IBEW Local 613 and is currently working as a traveler with IBEW Local 1105, where he has been welcomed as family. Anyone who has worked alongside him knows he shows up every day with dedication, integrity, and pride in his craft. He represents what our brotherhood stands for—hard work, loyalty, and always having each other’s backs.

Now it’s our turn to have his.

With mounting hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and everyday living expenses, the financial burden is overwhelming. This fundraiser is to help ensure Michael "Blake" McGraw and his family are not facing this fight alone.

Union strong means we take care of our own. Whether you can donate, share, or keep Michael "Blake" McGraw in your prayers, every act of support matters.

Thank you for standing in solidarity with our brother and showing what the IBEW brotherhood truly means. ✊
