Josie Lou Ratley, Bullying Victim, Survivor of a Traumatic Brain Injury

The Josie Lou Ratley Fund - How You Can Help Bullying Victim Josie Lou Ratley

Josie

On March 17, 2010, Deerfield Beach Middle School student Josie Lou Ratley was bullied and seriously beaten by a Deerfield Beach High School student over text message exchanges. The attack left Josie with a traumatic brain injury.

Josie Lou Ratley continues to undergo rehabilitation. While she is making progress, she still has a long way to go. She has to re-learn everything most of us take for granted. Her long-term-prognosis from her injuries is still unknown and it could take years to determine her prognosis for a full recovery.

Josie's mother Hilda Gotay is extremely grateful for the generous outpouring of support and assistance from the community. If you would like to aid in Josie’s recovery, here is how you can help:
