Our beloved Chachi Mendoza, known for his boundless generosity and spirited nature, recently endured a life-changing accident that has left him in need of our support. He now faces multiple surgeries and a challenging path to recovery. We are rallying together to support him through this journey.
The Accident:
While embodying his selfless spirit on a group camping trip in Moab, Chachi suffered a severe accident. At the very end of pack down, a wild wind storm hit. Tarps, rugs and many things went flying. Being earth angels, Chachi and a friend went to make sure there was no trace left behind. He climbed up the rocks to retrieve a tarp when rocks broke beneath him. Falling 40 or more feet, yet carried by angels.
Chachi has two broken feet, a completely shattered ankle, a compound fracture, and wounds on his face and the back of his head. Yet by the grace of his warrior spirit, he miraculously managed to land on all four, like a cat! These injuries require multiple surgeries and a large recovery process. Luckily, there were no internal head injuries and all vitals have stayed stable. One surgery was complete as of May 21st, he'll be going back into surgery May 22nd. Naturally he is in good spirits!
Blessing great spirit that he is alive & with us, we need this earth warrior & now he needs us, too.
