Support Josh Booz's Fight for Recovery

Help Josh Booz on His Road to Recovery After Life-Changing Accident

We are reaching out to our community for support for an incredible man, Josh Booz—husband, brother, friend, and the manager and talented artist behind Artistic Visions Wildlife - World Class Taxidermy. Josh is one of the kindest, most genuine people you could ever meet, and he has touched so many lives with his creativity, hard work, and positive spirit.

On November 23, 2024, Josh was involved in a tragic hunting accident that has left him fighting for his life. While out doing what he loves most—hunting in the great outdoors—a fellow hunter’s shotgun blast deflected off Josh’s head, resulting in a devastating skull fracture and brain injury. Josh was rushed to Reading Hospital, where emergency surgery was performed immediately to save his life. Surgeons had to remove a large portion of his skull to reduce the swelling in his brain, which was putting intense pressure on vital veins and arteries. The next few days are important, as the swelling is still a concern. The good news is, Josh is fighting hard. He is awake, aware, and showing signs of his usual strength and determination. He still has all his memories up to the moment of the accident, and his long-term memory is intact. He is speaking clearly, thinking logically, and even using his sense of humor to lighten the situation. He has the use of his arms and hands as of now, and we are hopeful that his legs will begin to respond soon as well. However, the road ahead is long and uncertain. Josh has a tough battle to face, and his recovery will require ongoing medical care, physical therapy, and treatment. His wife, Em, and their family are doing everything they can to support him, but the financial strain of medical bills, therapy, and home care will quickly add up.

How You Can Help: This GoFundMe is set up to help Josh and his family with the financial burden during this difficult time. The funds raised will go directly toward covering medical expenses, physical therapy, treatments, and any other support that will make their journey easier. Every donation—no matter the amount—will make a meaningful difference as Josh continues his fight for recovery. If you know Josh, you know that he is a warrior. His strength, determination, and optimism have always been an inspiration to those around him, and we believe with all our hearts that he will get through this. But he needs our support now more than ever to make it through this challenging road to recovery.

Please consider donating, sharing this page, and sending your thoughts and prayers to Josh, Em, and their family. Together, we can help Josh get back to doing what he loves. Thank you for your generosity and support. We are all in this fight with him.
