Help the Mori Family recover from a car accident

Donation protected

Yoichi "Forest" and Tomo Mori founded the Japanese Hope Family Mountain Family church which is currently located in Centennial, Colorado in 2009 (www.jhmfc.org).

During Labor Day weekend, the Mori family flew to Washington to assist with the services at Lynnwood Japanese Family Church in Edmonds, WA (http://www.en.ljfamily.org). In the early morning of September 4, 2023, the Mori family was driving to the airport in Seattle, Washington, when a drunk/drugged driver drove the wrong way on interstate I-5 and collided with the Mori’s car head on. All five family members were transported to hospital intensive care units (ICU) throughout Seattle. Please help support the family with the significant medical bills. Please also pray for their recovery from injuries and safe travel back to Denver when they are able.

The following is an update on the condition of each of the family members:

Kishin: The youngest of the family and a sophomore in high school at Denver Christian School, is the most injured. He went into immediate surgery to repair his stomach, intestines, and lung. In addition he has a broken leg and broken shoulder.

Tomo: The mother, is the next most significantly injured. She also went into immediate surgery for internal damage to her intestines. She also has damage to her spinal cord, which will be assessed soon.

Inori: A nursing student at Colorado Christian University, Inori sustained head injuries including a fractured nose, hematoma, several broken ribs, and damaged her tail bone. Her right ankle is also sprained, which is making it very difficult to walk.

Sambi: Is a second year student as a Doctor of Physical Therapy at Regis University. She has a fractured spine, several lacerations, and an elevated heart rate.

Yoichi (Forest): The father, has injuries to his back and head, but his CT scan came back ok. He is mentally shaken and is obviously distressed about the rest of his family. He most likely has whiplash and will be under observation for the next few days to make sure he is ok.

森ファミリーは牧師家族で、2009年にアメリカ・コロラド州でJapanese Hope Mountain Family Churchをスタートさせました。
レイバーデイの週末、森家はシアトル近郊にあるリンウッド日本人ファミリー教会で奉仕するため、ワシントン州に飛び立ちました。奉仕を終えて次の日、2023年9月4日早朝、森家がシアトルの空港に向かう途中、高速道路(I-5)を逆走してきた車に正面衝突されました。逆走のドライバーは飲酒運転かドラッグ使用だったとの警察からの報告でした。森家5人全員、すぐさまシアトルのICUに救急車で運ばれ、現在も治療を受けています。森家の怪我からの速やかな回復と、回復後デンバーに安全に戻って来れるようお祈り下さい。

以下は森家一人一人の現在の状況です。

喜心くん
末っ子で、デンバークリスチャンスクールの2年生。現在一番負傷の度合いがひどい状況です。病院に運ばれた直後、胃と腸と肺の緊急手術が行われました。さらに足と肩も骨折しています。

ともさん
母親で、喜心くんと共に予断を許さない状況です。ともさんも内臓と腸の緊急手術を受け、さらに背骨も負傷しており、検査中です。

祈里ちゃん
コロラドクリスチャン大学の看護科の生徒で、頭を負傷しています。また、鼻の骨もヒビが入っており、血腫も確認され、肋骨も骨折しています。尾てい骨を強打し、右足首も捻挫し、痛みがひどく歩きづらい状況です。

賛美ちゃん
リージス大学の理学療法士コース(博士課程)の2年生です。賛美ちゃんも背骨にひびが入っており、体中を負傷しています。また心拍数も高い状態です。

要一牧師
父親で、腰と頭を負傷した模様ですが、CTスキャンの結果では問題は見られない様子。精神的に多大なダメージを受け、自身も負傷している中、様々な対応に追われており、家族の状況をとても心配しています。衝突時、むち打ちの状態になったようでこれから先しばらく医師の観察下に置かれます。
