More Info: BPM Media | Joseph’s Journey
Joseph met an accident in Tutbury while he was out for a walk on March 1. This happened three weeks before Britain’s first national lockdown. The 19-year-old UK Teen spent 11 months in a coma and for obvious reasons had no idea about the impact of Covid-19 Pandemic in the world.
Fortunately, Joe is on the recovery track. He communicates through blinks, smiles, and moves his limbs on cue. His aunt Sally Flavill-Smith said: “It’s the best we have seen him recently. It might seem like little progress but the fact he can give the nurse a high five is a really big step.” Due to Covid-19 restriction in the UK, his family is unable to visit him hence they are unaware that how well he understands the pandemic situation.

Sally said: “He’s making really good progress. We’ve got to try to remain positive. He’s making improvements.” Joe was taken to Leicester General Hospital after the accident a year ago, going through a half year there before he was moved to Adderley Green, a neurological recovery community in Stoke-on-Trent.
His family is meeting the medical expenses with the help of a fundraising page, which you can visit here.
