Support for Shama’ar’s Urgent Care and Expenses

Hi, we’re Brandon and Shaquela, parents of Shama’ar Jefferson.

On March 30th, 2025 our 13 year old son Shama’ar suffered a traumatic brain injury while playing basketball. He was rushed to the hospital and we found that he had a brain bleed needing brain surgery and intensive care. We have been by his side every step of the way staying in the hospital with him at his bed side for 17 days now. With expressions of a 2nd opinion in his care giving we have been moved to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. Where we are currently searching for a clearer prognosis from a pediatric specialist team. 

We are grateful for all the love and support that has been given to us through our family’s tragedy.

As we continue to move forward with caring for Shama’ar , we know we are looking at already incurred and unforeseen expenses in getting him the care and testing he needs.

Any contributions, no matter the size, means the world to us. Thank you for your kindness, support, love, and continued prayers for our sweet baby boy.

With graditude,

Brandon, Shaquela, Shama’ar, and Family
