Many people have reached out from near and far asking how they can help. Close relatives to perfect strangers have been impacted by Jon and the fight for his life.

Here’s one way you can help the Watson family as we wait for Jon to wake up. Scientific studies have shown that talking to a loved one in a comatose state actually helps them recover. Hearing stories exercises brain circuits which can help trigger the first steps of awareness. In fact, scientists have even been able to prove that people in a coma who are talked to and engaged with regularly actually wake up sooner. We’ve definitely observed this to be true with Jon. Multiple people at his bedside have reported more eye movement activity while talking and reading to him. So how can you help? Send us your “Get better soon!” videos for Jon! Read him a story, give him encouraging words, share your favorite memory of him, even if you never met him we still want to hear from you. Email your video to WatsonNation21@gmail.com. We will compile them into one video that will be played to him bedside. Your support and love has been pivotal for the Watson family, especially Megan. We’re hoping to hear from each of you as we all continue to fight hard along side Jon.
