A Miracle In the Midst of Tragedy:
Help Support Stephanie’s recovery

On October 11, 2025, our beloved daughter-in-law Stephanie, was involved in a horrific accident that changed everything in an instant. Her pickup truck was struck and moments later, it burst into flames. By the grace of God and the courage of a few incredibly Good Samaritans, she and her loving dog Luna were pulled from the wreckage just in time.
Stephanie is now in the ICU fighting through unimaginable pain with bleeding on the brain, multiple broken ribs and a fractured ankle. She lost everything in the crash, her purse, her wallet, her cash, her credit cards and her cellphone. But she didn’t lose her life, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.
The journey ahead will be long and difficult. She faces extensive medical care, rehabilitation, and the emotional toll of such a traumatic event. We’re reaching out to our community, friends, and kindhearted strangers to ask for help. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward her medical expenses and recovery needs, and help her rebuild what was lost.
If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this page and keeping Stephanie in your prayers. Your support means the world to our family. With me and Shirley with fixed income living on Social Security, we are limited as to what we can contribute, this is why we feel the need to reach out.

With gratitude and hope,

Tony & Shirley Kessler & Family
