Help for a community member- Laguna
Donation protected
Community member and friend, Mark Nelson, has been a full time single father of three elementary school boys- Jack, Chase, and Vincent for the past 5+ years. Mark is an active member in the Laguna Beach community- a coach for flag football, serves on the parent advisory council at Top of the Elementary, and is currently running for LBUSD school board.
Mark is a small business owner and makes his living delivering groceries, meals, and household items to anyone in Laguna Beach (and the surrounding areas). The sole source of his income comes from the ability to drive and pick up these items so people can obtain the things they need- prescriptions, meals, etc. Hotels in Laguna Beach regularly use Mark and his delivery business to help support their current visitors.
On August 17th, 2018, Mark was in a terrible accident on PCH (near main beach). Mark was driving southbound and within seconds his car was flipped over onto its side, glass went everywhere, and his car inoperable. Needless to say, Mark's new car is totaled from the pictures (included here) and he was hospitalized for spinal, and neurological injuries. Mark has no wife, no parents, nor other family members here to help him as he is able to get back into decent health. As we group together as a community to help support him and his children, we are raising money to allow Mark to pay for upcoming medical bills, and loss of wages he will lose for being off of work for the next 30-60 days for medical reasons.
