Help for Branson Holm

Sunday evening I got a call from one of my very best friends from college, Crystal Holm. Crystal's youngest brother, Branson, had been in a serious snowboarding accident in Arizona and experienced a traumatic head injury. He had to have emergency surgery to relieve bleeding and swelling in the brain and has remained in critical condition. I haven't received too many updates this week other than his condition remains extremely critical.

Branson is a college student in Arizona and does not have medical insurance. His parents live in Oregon and his three sisters are scattered throughout the U.S. so I'm sure the family has already incurred a great expense just to travel to be with him. Yesterday Crystal sent out the message that a fund has been set up at the Holm's home church in Oregon to help with the medical expenses that will be ahead, as Branson is expected to be in the hospital for an extended period of time. I just wanted to pass that information on in case there is anyone reading this out there that would like to help this family during this tragic and difficult time. This is a really beautiful and faithful family who have been a light for many others...now it is our turn to be a light to them.

Assistance can be sent to:

West Main Church of Christ
1701 West Main
Medford, Oregon 97501

Checks payable to the church and with a memo "For Branson Holm's Benevolence Fund"

Cards to Branson can be sent to:

Flagstaff Medical Center
1200 N. Beaver
Flagstaff, AZ 86001
Attn: ICU North/Branson Holm 1015

Thank you for thinking about this family during this time and keeping them in prayer!

Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.- Galatians 6:10
