Notre Dame student Joseph Shamko is in critical condition after a fall while he was on spring break last week.

Notre Dame High School and a local church are asking people to pray for Joseph, one of their students.

A GoFundMe campaign is trying to gather support for Joseph and his family. According to the page, he suffered an accident that left him in critical condition.

A post on the Facebook page of the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul says he suffered a serious fall while on Spring Break Thursday night.

The church says he is experiencing severe brain swelling and undergoing treatment.

As of Monday evening, the GoFundMe page had surpassed its $10,000 fundraising goal.

St.

Jude School in Chattanooga, where Joseph once attended, says he is receiving care at a hospital in Boston.
