Help Support Billy Baker After a Tragic Accident

Dear friends, family, and compassionate hearts,

On Monday June 2, my sister’s husband, Billy Baker, was in a tragic cycling accident. He was riding his bike home for lunch when he fell and suffered a devastating brain injury that his helmet couldn’t protect him from. He is currently in the ICU fighting to get better, and faces a profound medical challenge with a long recovery journey ahead.

The emotional hardships from this accident have been unimaginable and far reaching. And the uncertainty of Billy’s prognosis is heartbreaking. Billy is such a kind, caring, and upbeat person. Always ready to lend a hand to help others at a moment's notice. He is an amazing Dad to his two sons (as well as his tuxie cats), and has been my sister’s soul mate since meeting as teenagers.

Our hearts are with my sister and her sons as they navigate this incredibly difficult time. We've started this fundraiser to create a circle of support around them, helping to alleviate the immense emotional and financial burdens arising from such a sudden and life-altering event.

How Your Support Will Help:

The road ahead is uncertain and filled with challenges, but your support can make a real difference. The funds raised will help ease the financial strain on my sister and her boys, allowing them to focus entirely on Billy’s care and recovery - without the added stress of mounting expenses. It will also help cover the many unexpected costs that arise in a medical crisis like this, the kinds of burdens no family can truly prepare for.

Your generosity - whether through a donation, a kind message, or by sharing this campaign - means more than we can express. Every act of support brings strength, hope, and a splash of light during this incredibly difficult time.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for wrapping your support around our family.

With love and gratitude,

Gerrit and Tara Loeffen
