Medical funds for Will Jones III

-Will Jones

On June 26th, 2017 my father Will Jones was in a horrendous hit and run car accident in Buffalo NY. (News Story) He has suffered severe head trauma, partial paralysis and still remains in intensive care. I will never forget the day that they explained what the breathing tube meant for him and how I would need to make a decision on what to do if he was not able to breath without it. 

 For the past month and a half, our family has anxiously awaited signs of recovery as he has been through multiple surgical procedures to try and remedy issues caused by the accident.  Despite showing some signs of improvement, he continues to face physical challenges.  While he has recently regained the ability to fully articulate his words, he is not yet able to eat and walk.

Will Jones is the founder and owner of Xavier’s Photography, a photography and graphic design business that has served the Western New York community for over 25 years. He is also the owner and publisher of Black WNY , a local magazine that strives to showcase positive and uplifting stories in the community.




My dad has always been a strong community activist, known for his kind heart and good humor.  He has always had an undying passion to bring people together through the images he captures and the stories that he shares with the world. 


Due to the overwhelming and growing financial burden resulting from this tragedy, our family is asking for your support.  Although we are praying that he will make a full recovery, we know that the road ahead will be long and hard.  Any donation will be deeply appreciated by our family.  Thank you and God Bless.
