Topic: Help out my family

Bona-friends,

My niece was harassed by two strangers in a water park's parking lot in Wisconsin Dells. Her boyfriend defended my niece by asking them to apologize and got severely beaten up by these two guys.

They beat him up until a car drove up to them and a lady got out. Cops haven't found the guys who did it yet. His jaw is severely broken in multiple places. Surgery was needed to fix it and his jaw is wired shut for four weeks. His legs were beaten so bad he could barely walk.

This sort of thing makes my blood boil. 18 year old kid, world by the balls... Class President at a Green Bay highschool, and a hell of a bass player too - no dark side to him whatsoever... and this happens. I'm getting more and more furious just thinking about it.

Here's a site you can get more details if you want to see the official story and if you want to help aid in his recovery. If you can't give, at least say a prayer.

Re: Help out my family

I'm on board with this Nic.  I hope the generosity of "strangers" can help heal his psyche too.

Very, very sad Nic, and to think it could happen at a place that is all about families and fun. Sending prayers and hoping Jesse can recover both physically and emotionally.

Re: Help out my family

Thank you so much everyone!

They've raised over $2000 so far with a $10,000 goal. So happy friends are stepping up on this.

Someone commented "Nice to know there are still real men out there, Jesse. Get well soon so you can keep taking such good care of your girl."
