Braxton’s Story

On December 24, 2023, 15-year-old Braxton experienced a life-changing dirt bike accident. He spent 25 days in the pediatric ICU with two broken femurs, broken facial bones, a pseudoaneurysm, and a traumatic brain injury. Following stabilizing surgeries, Braxton was transferred to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia for ongoing rehabilitation.

Braxton’s family has faced not just physical and emotional hurdles but also a financial burden following Braxton’s accident. Braxton’s mother cannot return to work while caring for Braxton and his brother, Dane. That’s why loved ones came together to form Braxton’s Army, a financial and emotional lifeline.

They started fundraising with the trusted national nonprofit Help Hope Live at: https://helphopelive.org/campaign/23477/

All funds raised through the Braxton’s Army Cornhole Benefit will be sent to Help Hope Live in Braxton’s honor.
