Help Gary & Barbara Turner Rebuild After a Devastating Food Truck Accident

A lifetime of hard work changed in an instant. Now Gary and Barbara need our help.

For Gary and Barbara Turner, owners of Barbara's Quick Lunch in Chepachet, Rhode Island, their food truck was more than just a business. It was their livelihood, their independence, and the way they supported themselves.

Now, in their 70s, they are facing one of the most difficult challenges of their lives.

Gary was recently involved in a devastating accident when he was struck by a truck. During the accident, hot grease from the food truck's deep fryer spilled onto him, causing severe burns.

Gary has since been released from the hospital, but his recovery is far from over. His burns have left him in tremendous pain, with severely limited mobility. He now relies on a wheelchair to get around, while his wife Barbara does everything she can to care for him.

As if Gary's injuries weren't enough, the accident also caused extensive damage to their food trailer and truck, potentially leaving both totaled.

In a matter of moments, Gary and Barbara lost the ability to earn a living at a time when they need that income the most.

The bills haven't stopped coming. Everyday living expenses, medical costs, and the financial burden of losing their business are beginning to pile up.

At an age when most people hope to be enjoying retirement, Gary and Barbara are instead facing physical pain, financial uncertainty, and the possibility of having to rebuild everything they've worked so hard for.

But they shouldn't have to face this alone.
