On June 5th, a local fruit vendor in Bluffdale, Utah, experienced a devastating accident on Bangerter Highway. When a wheel came off his truck, he lost an entire load of mangos across the roadway. While many saw the viral photos and videos of mangos scattered across the highway, behind those images is a hardworking member of our community who now faces significant financial setbacks. Not only was valuable inventory lost, but the truck itself suffered damage that may affect his ability to continue working and supporting himself.

For many small business owners and independent vendors, one unexpected accident can create a serious hardship. Lost inventory, vehicle repairs, missed work, and other unexpected expenses add up quickly. We are raising funds to help cover truck repairs and transportation costs, replacement inventory and lost product, lost income while recovering from the accident, and any medical or recovery-related expenses resulting from the incident.

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as valuable. Thank you for supporting a hardworking member of our community during a difficult time.
