After San Antonio BJJ instructor suffers stroke, here’s how to help

 

SAN ANTONIO, TX – When it comes to competition on the mats, Texas BJJ is as fierce as you’ll find anywhere. Our athletes give it their all. But when it comes to camaraderie off the mats, you’ll find that Texas BJJ is also a thriving and warm-hearted community, close-knit and caring. We take care of our own.

Such is the case now with tragedy having hit Adeildo Jose Junior Show, a local instructor out of San Antonio who came to Texas by way of Brazil just a few short years ago. Last weekend while competing, Junior suffered a blow to the head. The next day he collapsed. Junior is now at Methodist Hospital in the Neuro Intensive Care Unit, having suffered a stroke. While having survived, he will now have to face a recovery that will involve intensive physical therapy just so he can regain his normal sense of movement. Not having insurance, he will now need all the help he can muster and the community has opened its arms to be able to offer what it can to him.

Here’s a few ways you can contribute to his recovery:

 

GoFundMe

 

Pinnacle BJJ’s Daniel Duron has set up a GoFundMe account with proceeds going directly to Junior Show’s medical and rehab expenses. With an initial goal of $15,000, the fund has already raised over $6,000 in one day thanks in large part to the Texas BJJ Community but it still has a long ways to go. And with medical costs being what they are, 15k probably won’t be enough to cover it all.

Here’s the link to contribute: https://www.gofundme.com/6xjpk2f8

 

Medical Referrals

 

Due to Junior’s citizenship status he does not qualify for medicaid. It’s also difficult to find a hospital that will admit him for rehab so the only option may be to pay for private therapy. The current plan is to use whatever can be fundraised through GoFundMe for that purpose. It’s imperative that he begins that therapy immediately. To that end, those assisting Junior are looking for referrals for a certified speech therapist, occupational therapist and physical therapist that would be interested in taking on a cash pay private patient. If you know somebody interested in helping, please have them email Heather Copeland at medicalmanagementpro@gmail.com.

 

 

 

Seminars and Open Mats

 

Other area schools from around the area have also mobilized to raise funds for Mr. Show.

Please consider attending one of the charity seminars and roll-a-thons below:

 

  1. January 31st at Ohana (San Antonio, TX)
