The family of Major Clemens is facing an overwhelming and heartbreaking crisis after the 14-year-old was tragically shot in the head on February 17, 2026. Since the incident, Major has remained in a medically induced coma while doctors work tirelessly to stabilize his condition and give him the best possible chance at recovery. His future remains uncertain, and each day has become a delicate balance of hope, prayer, and endurance for his loved ones.
Major’s mother, Sarah Erickson, has been by his side throughout this painful ordeal, demonstrating extraordinary strength in the face of unimaginable circumstances. However, the emotional toll has been compounded by financial hardship, as Sarah recently lost her job after years of dedicated service. The sudden loss of income, combined with mounting medical and living expenses, has placed an enormous burden on the family during an already devastating time.
In response, friends, extended family, and compassionate supporters have turned to GoFundMe to help raise funds for Major’s care and to support his family’s urgent needs. The campaign aims to ease some of the financial strain so the family can focus entirely on Major’s recovery without the added stress of overwhelming expenses.
Those who know Major describe him as a bright, kind, and resilient young boy with his whole life ahead of him. His sudden injury has shaken everyone who knows him, and the community has responded with an outpouring of love, encouragement, and prayer.
Every donation, no matter how small, represents hope for Major and his family. Even sharing his story helps spread awareness and brings strength to those standing beside him. As Major continues to fight for his life, the support of others serves as a powerful reminder that his family is not alone in this difficult journey.
