As many of you know, a close friend to The Long Firm LLP, Gregory Franzek, suffered catostrophic injuries in an accident on August 15, 2019. His injuries are too many to list but the most significant is his complete paralysis from an L1 lumbar fracture resulting in his complete paralysis from the waist down. Following a 3 + month stay at Erie County Medical Center recovering from his injuries and attending rehabilitation, he was discharged home with his parents who's home sti...ll requires modifications to accommodate Gregory Franzek being in a wheelchair. He has been attending extensive out-of-network therapy at Project Walk Boston Ability Center working on one major goal in mind: To Make Gregory Walk Again! Before this accident, Gregory was very active in his community, enjoyed a large network of friends, participated in sports and held a very successful position and a certified technican at Northtown Lexus. It is heartbreaking and unfair to anyone, including Gregory, how your life can dramatically change in the blink of an eye resulting in long lasting physical and emotional scars. How can you help? First, please send your prayers for Gregory’s continued strength for his recovery and ability to walk again and put two feet in front of the other. Second, we need your financial help!

I came across a Facebook post today about a mom and her 18 year old daughter who had her wisdom teeth extracted resulting in her being on a ventilator and in the ICU. The parents had to fight with hospital staff and doctors about making legal decisions for her care. I never thought of this until my son had to go for surgery last month!!
