CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — 17-year-old Immanuel Gilmore was paralyzed during a wrestling match, but his faith that he'll walk again one day has remained strong.
Immanuel and his family are currently in Atlanta at the Shepherd Center, one of the best rehabilitation facilities for his injury.
He's now receiving treatment and therapy. If you're looking to help Immanuel and his family, there's a comedy fundraiser and silent auction happening at the end of March.
The event will take place Sunday, March 30 at 4 p.m. at the Real Life Sango Church Auditorium.
Right now, the fundraiser really needs sponsors and items for the silent auction. You can buy tickets to the event, become a sponsor or donate at this link.
There is also a GoFundMe supporting Immanuel on his road to recovery. You can find that here.

Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
