Help Little Luke

On Wednesday, September 2, 2009, little four-year-old Lucas Holko was sitting with his parents, Chad and Nicole at a Mahoning Valley Scrapper’s game. He was relaxing in his father’s lap chatting with his mom when he was struck in the back of the head by a line drive foul ball. Luke underwent immediate surgery at St. Elizabeth’s hospital to remove the piece of fractured skull that was depressing his brain and spinal cord. He was transferred to Akron Children’s Hospital where he remained in critical condition for several weeks.

This website was created by family members of Lucas Holko in order to keep the public updated on Luke’s condition. Please be wary of duplicate sites that may or may not have Luke’s best interest in mind. You do not have to donate to help Luke as the family is requesting prayer. The donate button is there for those who choose to help in their own way. This site will not accept any lewd, obscene or insulting comments, but is here only to bring as much help as possible to this adorable child.

After a tremendous outreach from the public and thousands of prayers asking for his life to be spared, Luke has made an amazing recovery. Through the months, he awoke from his coma, began therapy to restore his motor functions and speech, and has become more like his old energetic, mischievous, lovable self every day. Luke was honored at a Cleveland Indian’s game in May where he had the opportunity to meet the tribe. He will be honored again at an upcoming Scrapper’s game this August.
