Support for Jonny Francis battling devastating Spinal Injury

Donation protected
My name is Eric, I am one of Jonny's close friends and I am working with his immediate family and friends to raise money for this unfortunate emergency and catastrophic injury.

First we want to start off with saying that like many others with a great sense of pride it is extremely difficult to post on a public platform asking for money, and asking for help. However, we believe he needs it and will appreciate any form of support.

Last Monday 10/6/2025 while working on a roof our close friend and bandmate Jonathan (Jonny) fell from the roof resulting in 2 broken ribs and fractures throughout most of his thoracic spine. More specifically: T2-T8 was fractured. He was rushed by ambulance to Elliott Hospital where doctors began taking images, x-rays, and MRI's where they determined that Jonny would need immediate major surgery due to the severity of the broken bones in his back and fractured ribs.

Unfortunately doctors confirmed there is no curative surgery for the kind of spinal injury Jonny has suffered, due to the fact the spinal canal was compromised and the prognosis is grim - paralysis.

If you have had the pleasure of having any interaction with Jonny you would know, he would be more than willing to give anyone the shirt off his back especially in a time of need. Jonny is a kind and gentle soul whose love of family, friends, playing music and the arts is his lifelong passion.

The road of healing has just begun and he is prepared to give it his all. During this time of grief and pain, there will be a need for love and support. Unfortunately this will be a long journey ahead with many challenges; emotionally, physically and financially. Any contribution, great or small, will be of great help.

Our goal here is to support Jonny with hopes, prayers and the means to get the help needed to sustain his strength and positivity so that one day he may be able to walk again and return to some resemblance of the life he so loves.
