Support for the Murphy Family – A Long Road to Recovery

Support for the Murphy Family – A Long Road to Recovery

On February 16, 2025, the lives of the Murphy family changed forever. Charlie (13), Georgia (12), Jojo, and Quin were on their way home from a volleyball tournament in Chicago when a driver attempting to pass on the other side of the road did not see their car and hit them head-on.

The accident was devastating. Charlie and Georgia were med-flighted to Chicago-area children's hospitals, while Jojo and Quin were taken to another hospital, and Jojo was later transferred to another. This has left their family physically separated in 4 different hospitals, each fighting their own battles to heal, with separate care teams and individual family members being at every location helping them.

Meet Charlie & Georgia

Charlie (13) is kind, funny, and full of creativity. He has a heart of gold, a natural charisma that draws people in, and a love for bike riding, video games, and hanging out with his friends.

Georgia (12) is fun, kind, and full of energy. She is a dedicated volleyball player for Madtown 121 National Team who loves spending time with her friends and teammates. Her passion for Volleyball and her bright personality make her an amazing friend. She loves all things girly from skincare, hair, make-up to all the fun!

Their Parents – Jojo & Quin

Jojo and Quin are amazing parents who are deeply rooted in Middleton/Cross Plains, and St. Francis community in Cross Plains, WI. Quin works as a general contractor, and Jojo is an office manager. They are the kind of people who give so much, and now they need our help. Jojo (Jennifer) is the daughter of Greg & Kate Roessler of Cross Plains. Quin is the son of Tom and Kate Murphy of Cross Plains.

Their Injuries & Recovery Journey

The family sustained severe injuries, and their recovery will be long.

Charlie & Georgia – Both remain medically sedated as they recover from surgeries, with more ahead. They are in critical but stable condition and are in the best possible care.

Quin – Multiple broken bones- pelvic, leg, ankle, and internal injuries. He has been transferred out of ICU and is doing better but has a long healing process and more surgeries ahead.

Jojo – Suffered five broken bones in her back, a fractured sternum, wrist, and finger, along with cuts and bruises. She remains incredibly strong for her family and is expected to be fitted for a back brace today before being transferred out of ICU soon.

How You Can Help

This journey will require months of recovery, physical therapy, home modifications (wheel chairs and ramps), and extensive medical care. Quin's work as a general contractor requires manual labor, which he won’t be able to do for months. With both parents unable to work, the family needs financial support to cover living expenses, medical bills, and ongoing care for at least the next six months.

Ways to Support:

Donate – Every contribution, no matter the size will help ease the financial burden so they can focus on healing.

Pray – Their faith is strong, and they need prayers for strength, healing, and the skilled hands of their medical teams.

Share – Please share this with your community to spread awareness and increase support.

Faith Over Fear – They Are Strong

This family is full of faith, love, and resilience. They have a long road ahead, but they are fighters, and with God’s grace and the support of their family, friends, and community, they will get through this.

Thank you for your prayers, love, and generosity during this unimaginable time. We will continue to provide updates here as they heal.

With gratitude,
