My brother Paul Catalfamo is a Baltimore County Police Officer. Paul was severely injured on June 7, 2026. Paul was shot twice— once in the head (nothing damaged there) and the second time is in the neck breaking C5-C6 and causing spinal cord trauma. This is the serious injury that will take time to recover. He spent 10 days in the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center and on June 17, 2026, he left there and began his rehabilitation journey.

I wanted to set this up for him for all the unknown expenses… all the things he might need down the road. All money raised goes directly to Paul Catalfamo. We set this up as his sisters, he is the sole beneficiary of the Go Fund Me.

Here’s a little bit about Paul. He’s the youngest of 3. When he was born, his sisters were 23 and 16. The whole family fell in love with him as soon as we saw him. Paul and his girlfriend have been together for 4 1/2 years. He has 5 nieces and 4 nephews. Now he’s 22 and has been a police officer for 1.5 years. He also loves his puppy Goose- English Bulldog! Paul is determined, compassionate, caring, and has a smile that will light up any room. He was a Boy Scout for many years where he learned service, loyalty, and many other things. Soccer was his true passion— he’s an athlete, a great team player, and will have anyone’s back.

Being a police officer suits Paul. He’s got a long road ahead of him. He will get back. Donate if you can, please share. Thanks for listening to our story.

Thanks,
