Freedom from Gun Violence-Basketball Shooting Recovery

Freedom From Gun Violence – Help a Father and Son Heal After a Tragic Shooting

On Sunday morning, June 8, 2025, a father and son went to enjoy a game of basketball at Louisville’s newly renovated Algonquin Park. What began as a peaceful outing quickly became a nightmare — both were wounded in a senseless act of gun violence.

They survived, but their lives are forever changed.

Together, they’ve undergone six surgeries, with more ahead. The physical pain is only part of the battle — their recovery journey will be long, emotional, and financially overwhelming.

Why We’re Asking for Your Help

They are now unable to work. The family is struggling under the weight of:

Mounting medical bills

Ongoing rehabilitation and physical therapy

Loss of income
