Hey everyone, as some of you may have heard, one of my great friends, Lucas, and his family are going through some trying times. His 7-year-old son, Colt, has been involved in a traumatic event.

Lucas and Colt are currently at the Sanford Children's Hospital in Sioux Falls. They are expected to be there for the next few weeks. Meanwhile, Lucas's girlfriend, Kathryn, has been back home holding the fort down with Colt's sister, Breckan, and all the animals.

The path ahead has many unknowns and uncertainties, so we as friends and family have thought this could help them out with travel, missed pay, and medical bills by starting this GoFundMe page for them.

If you can help, it is so greatly appreciated. If not, just a simple share to help spread the word is also helpful.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you,

Friends and Family of the Lucas Merkel Family
