Hey Everyone,
Some of you already know that I had to fly back home to Virginia this week for a family emergency. My 20 year old brother, Joseph, was shot at a party on Sunday morning at 1243. It was a transverse shot to the abdomen that hit his femoral artery. His chances of survival were slim.
The doctors did everything they could for him, he recieved the best care, and fought as long as he could.
He passed away on Thursday morning at 205.
During his first couple of days he received 30 blood transfusions. Without that blood he never would have had a chance. My one request for everyone I know is that you go donate blood if you can. Just one pint can make a huge difference in someone\'s life.
If you are local to Manassas, VA you can go to a blood bank and make a donation in his name, Joseph Page. If you are not local to Virginia, please go make a donation anyway and think of my brother.
He was a good kid who never did anything to harm anyone. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The guys who shot him were part of a gang here. The detectives are still working on getting everyone but the shooter has already been apprehended. I just wish I could be here to support my family through the trial that will be coming next.
For all of you who have already sent your prayers and wishes I thank you. The support I\'ve received from my friends within the mini community has been wonderful. I couldn\'t ask to be associated with a better group of people.
Thank you,
Meg
