Support Yarl In His Recovery
As part of the Falcon Brigade, junior Ralph Yarl plays the saxophone at the Winter Concert Dec. 6 in the Performing Arts Center.
On Thursday, while going to pick up his siblings, junior Ralph Yarl went to the wrong address by mistake and was shot after ringing the doorbell. He is now home recovering, and his family wants the shooter arrested and charged. A protest was held Sunday afternoon in front of the house where the shooting took place.
Yarl’s aunt has been speaking for the family on social media @ahealthymixture on Instagram, advocating for awareness of the situation. She also has hosted a GoFundMe. Some are using the hashtags #ralphyarl and #justiceforralphyarl to spread awareness of the issue.
Tomorrow, April 18, @staleybsu is hosting a Unity Walk for current Staley High School students and Staff. This event is for current staff and students to show support for junior Ralph Yarl. The BSU students request that everyone wear Staley High School/Falcon gear tomorrow!

I am so sorry for what happened to you and hope you can recover from this, both physically and mentally. I’m sure it will be difficult for you and your family for quite a while. It is encouraging to see so many people bringing attention to this, contributing to Go Fund Me, and protesting. I wish I could do something to help you too. Just know that there are many good people out there. Try to stay positive and heal so you can overcome this.

I was heartbroken to see this poor little boy attacked as a threat .
I send prayers for his(and his families) recovery from this senseless action both physical and emotional.
He and they are a Beautiful American Family .
I’m so sorry this has happened to them.
LEANN l STRODA • Apr 18, 2023 at 3:41 PM
I am sure you are a great young man and I am heartsick about what that man did to you. I know it must seem so unimaginable how this can ever be put behind you and your innocent family. I know I will be thinking of you for a VERY long time. I don’t know you or your family but I send nothing but love.

Ralph,
Words cannot explain how sad I am that this happened to you. You have been in my thoughts everyday and I can’t imagine how hard this has been for you. It never should have happened, but I know you are incredibly strong and you can overcome this. We will all continue to fight for justice until it is served. Stay strong, stay kind, and stay amazing. We all know you can do it. I hope to see you happy and healthy in school soon. Much love!?
Kristopher Fuller • Apr 17, 2023 at 10:22 PM
I cannot put into words how sorry we are for what you have gone through. Sometimes the evils of this world find their way into our lives even in the most unlikely places. Sometimes we cannot see them coming, for they hide so well in the shadows.
But if there is one shining light to come from this situation, let it be this… that you now also know, love flows so much more mighty. I’m sure you have seen by now how not just your friends, not just your community, but an entire nation of love has rallied behind you. Because you matter, sir. You matter to those of us that know you and see you…. But you also matter to so many that don’t know you and are seeing you for the first time. Why?
Because at the end of the day, these evils cannot stand against the abundance of love in this world.
I hope that this is the lesson you take from this experience. I hope that you heal with joy and not resentment. Let the world surround you and find justice, while you find comfort in the love in this world.
Mr. Fuller

Praying for you young man! My son, Cayden Hoth, was involved in a car accident and was paralyzed when he was a sophomore (he can walk now!), but how the Staley community rallied around him and lifted his spirits. Sounds like Staley community is doing the same for you as well. Keep pulling through!
Lawson Stuhlsatz • Apr 17, 2023 at 8:45 PM
Ralph, keep on chugging and get out of this stronger than ever. It sucks that our world has come to this but don’t let it take you down with it. You’re an amazing student and an amazing friend. Hope to see you back at school soon.
Katie Brainard • Apr 17, 2023 at 8:03 PM
Dear Ralph,
Praying for a speedy, full recovery for you! You are so brave! Stay strong!
Mary Slover • Apr 17, 2023 at 7:52 PM
Ralph, you’ve been in my heart ever since this happened. Like I said before, I’m not much of a person that prays, but you were the exception❤️ I cried each hour of everyday for you. You’ve touch my heart like no other. I just ask that you not let this make you bitter and that you remain the sweet and caring person you are. Not all white people are evil, just as not all black people are evil. My heart sang when I heard you were released from the hospital. I hope the GO Fund Me page reaps millions for you and that you’re able to take a wonderful rest and vacation! Hug your family, but especially your brothers because I’m sure they grieved for you while you were gone from their eyes. I adore you, little man and I will never forget that BEAUTIFUL smile. Stay strong, stay forgiving❤️❤️?
Emma Rayl • Apr 17, 2023 at 7:05 PM
Dear Ralph,
What happened to you was an absolute tragedy. No teenager should ever have to go through what you went through and I am so sincerely sorry. I hope you have a fast and safe recovery. Praying for you!!
Jaelyn Kiliba • Apr 17, 2023 at 6:29 PM
Hey Ralph, it’s been a while. Didn’t know you went to Staley! That’s crazy. You definitely seem to be doing extremely well with band.
It’s so disappointing that people like that disgusting man exist. Can’t believe such of a think happened to you. You were the most quiet out of us cousins. Definitely the most innocent as well.
Junior hasn’t been able to talk since we got the news Friday, and my mom tears up anytime she sees any photo of you. God I can’t even deny, I’ve cried a bit. This whole situation just shocked everyone. I’m just glad that you pushed through. Don’t let this alter your feelings for anything at school and keep at it. Justice will be served for sure!

I know we don’t really know each other, being our only connection is the orchestra. But I just want you to know that you are genuinely one of the kindest people I believe I know. We don’t talk much, but even just talking about our ensembles or days for a few moments truly brightens my day. Thank you for being a light and sharing the gift of making music together. I only wish you recovery, justice, and the best.
