  • On August 29th my 18 year old Daughter, while at her first week as a freshman at Chico State, was a passenger in a rollover and broke her spine at C5 & C6 leaving her paralyzed from the ribs down. Please pray for my girl, her name is Maisie Mae.

    Even as tragedy consumes your family, you make time for us.
    That's the kind of man you are. My "thoughts and prayers," seem so feeble.
    Love you, brother.

    We are praying for Maisie to get better and have a swift and full recovery. The difficult memories of helplessness of my wife and I almost having lost a son years ago came rushing back watching this. Maisie, you and your entire family are in our prayers here in New Orleans.

    For what it's worth Shawn I am so sorry this has happened to your beloved daughter. Whilst I believe wholeheartedly in the "miracles" of modern medicine, like you, I believe in the power of the other, transcendent, numinous. Again, for what it's worth much metta to Maisie Mae, yourself and "Wifey Poo". Much much love and good wishes from Perth 💙

    I am one of "them" too, now. We lost out 17 year old daughter 4 months ago in a car accident. She was on her way to my house on surface streets here in Sacramento. Some one was speeding and texting...... and killed her. Dont speed in town, people. Dont text while driving either. I am now one of "them"

    Sitting here contemplating my smalls while thinking and trying to understand your monumental situation. What I do know is that she has a hell of a set of parents that are without a doubt the best she could have been given. I will keep you and your beloved close in that cage behind my heart that it may help me understand this tragedy and value what is really important. Keep your heart chained to hers because that’s what your strength and character are for.

    Thank you for your transparency throughout this tragic event. Your gift of sharing life events from your unique and bare perspective has touched so many of us who think alike yet lack the words to communicate it so clearly. I am thankful for these videos because it helps me to know how to pray for you, your wife, and Masie Mae as you walk this journey together. The pictures of her friends and family gathering around her are a blessing. They remind us of how tragedy in life should draw us together to work toward whatever the final result may be. The future isn't known but yet it is to be embraced. I will be continuing to pray for you all as you walk this path.

    My heart is with you and remember, you are not alone. Tragedy hits EVERYONE! From the child that just lost a pet, then a grandparent or two. A brother in ICU for weeks. We all live it. We learn to handle it in our own ways, your way brings solace to us all. An open heart and bearing your soul is the grace we hope we can all show. Yes, at some point we will all be the one the pain is felt for. We will each face those moments that we think will never go away. Sorry, I'm rambling for the same reason you are sharing this.... trying to make sense of those tragedies in my own life, but just know. You are not alone and us that also have been there or are there or will be there are holding your hand tight hoping to transfer just a little of that good energy that may just bring a smile knowing so many others care. Just be there for her... as any of us would want in our own times of need. We all live it and we can only feel healed by knowing others are there with you in if nothing else, spirit.

    Yes. We will Pray. Pray, and Meditate, a Wish-Path for Maise May. For the last few months/years (?) I can't say, Shawn Boland, your words have been a major comfort to my own brokenness and grief. Be careful of the darkness as you fall through the shattering of your fragility. stick with the Wish-Path to carry on through. Don't Succumb to the Lies Insanity can whisper into your ear. Be vigliant. You've given so much already. This is where I first heard "It's okay not to be okay" because I for one can never be okay again. Of course we will Pray. Right now.

    I’m so sorry this happened… my little brother had all the nerves severed in his spine.. he was paralyzed for 5yrs.. but with a lot of work the nerves grew back. He walked unassisted until he passed away from a blood clot 2 yrs later. He was 29.
    I pray Maisie, with the support of her family and doctors, can forge ahead in her life and be the very best she can be

    Love to your family brother. This video hit me hard.
    I snapped my spine a few years back. Told that day I'd be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. I refused all the doctors wisdom and wants. This can't be true.
    My wife at that time said I should kill myself. Yes. You read that right.
    Through the darkest months of my life I emerged like a Phoenix from the flames.. A healing fury occurred. Against all odds I believed.
    May that magic healing happen for your daughter. ❤
