Graham Honig knew something was wrong as soon as his head hit the concrete floor after falling from a stage. Moments after arriving home, he lost consciousness.

Graham suffered bleeding in his brain that initially showed no symptoms, but can claim a life within minutes. Quick and skillful response by Mercy caregivers saved his life. Four days after his life-saving surgery, he returned home. He’s back playing ping pong and is earning straight As at school.

Graham’s family expressed gratitude for his care with a gift to Mercy Foundation. “We believe divine intervention brought us to the best in the world, and that is Mercy,” said his mom, Krista. “We are so grateful to have our son here and healthy.”
