Help Tom and Christie Villarreal After Devastating Crash

On Thursday, April 24th, my daughter and son-in-law, Christie and Tom Villarreal were asleep in bed at 12:30am and survived the most horrific event when a driver crashed their car through a fence, bounced off their bedroom roof, and landed into their 5th wheel trailer, causing significant damages to their backyard fence, home, 5th wheel, truck, and SUV. The driver and passenger then fled the scene.

Tom is a retired Marine Master Sergeant of 25 years. Tours of duty include Drill Instructor Duty, Avionics Radar Instructor, CPL Course Instructor, Avionics Chief for CH-53E, RF-4B and F/A-18 Avionics technician. With 10-unit service deployments.

Currently, the amount of damage facing them is significant. Insurance will cover some of the costs for repair to their home, vehicles, and replacement of their trailer, but not all. As of now, they are being told that the car that did the damage might not have insurance. Tom and Christie are very well known locally in their community, and in the RV and camping communities. These two have always been the ones to help those in need no matter what the case is, and this loss has completely devastated them. Please let's help them recover their losses and get them back on their feet, so they can continue to help others in need.
