 On Tuesday, August 19, 2008 a young man barely 15-years-old sustained critical injuries on the practice field while playing the game he loved, football. Milton "Oshay" Johnson, a sophomore at Baker County High School in Glen Saint Mary, has suffered an event that will forever change his life and the lives of his family, a family that ultimately will be left to care for him and the many obstacles he will surely incur.
Family friend Fred Munson attended a board meeting of Builders Care and made us aware of this young man's plight and the efforts being made by his friends and the Baker County community to aide in his recovery.
Builders Care has undertaken the project of building a home that can properly house this remarkable young man and make the task of helping his rehabilitation easier for his family and the many friends who want to help him.
Please Donate Today to help in our efforts to provide a proper home for this young man and his family!
