Support James Salles' Fight for Recovery

As many of you have recently heard, James Salles, recently suffered a traumatic head injury while away at college. He is currently in critical condition, fighting the hardest battle of his life. For those who know James, you know his strength, resilience, and fighting spirit. We've seen him be a powerhouse on the football field, and we know he has that same fight in him now. But he is more than an athlete, he is a son, brother, grandchild, nephew, cousin, and friend to many who love and adore him. We are holding on to hope that we will see his beautiful, shy smile again soon.

We ask you to join us in praying for James, asking God to place His healing hands on him and to wrap His loving arms around his parents, Maryanne and Frank, his brother Frankie, and his extended family. They need comfort and strength as they stay by his side in this unimaginably difficult time.

As close friends of the family, the Vandoran-Espinosa, Hancock, and Edmonds families, we’ve set up this GoFundMe to help cover the unexpected expenses that have come with James’s fight. Our goal is to give his family the freedom to focus on James without the added stress of financial concerns. No donation is too small, and every bit of support counts.

Thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness you have already shown. Please keep James in your prayers and thank you for standing with us in supporting his recovery.

Love to you all , the Vandoran-Espinosa family, Hancock family, and Edmonds family.
