Title: Help Coach Cooley help Milwaukee family
Post by: brewcity77 on January 12, 2021, 08:29:28 PM

While in Milwaukee, Coach Ed Cooley saw a story about this Milwaukee family trying to build a ramp to help their son who was paralyzed by a bullet & will be discharged from Froedtert this week. He made a donation to help get it done. Seems like a good opportunity for MU & PC fans to come together to help a local family blow away their expectations!

Very nice.  I’ll donate to this cause.  Anyone else who does I’ll match 10%.

Thanks for sharing. I've always respected Cooley, but this is above and beyond. We need more stories like this in the world. Best of luck to Jocqese and his family.

And here was an additional thought I had - this just illustrates a broken system - it would be far cheaper to build the ramp for home care than to pay for a transitional facility, I would bet.

Woj and Cooley should do this every game between the 2 teams; sort of a tradition. Home coach picks the local GoFundMe cause, donates $X each, and promotes the cause to its fan base.
