Help after The Hovercraft Crash.

Hello, My name is Jocelyn Jacob and we have been good friends with the amazing Chase Family for many years. If you don't know this family (Matt, Jenni, Haylee, and Olivia) travel around the USA in an RV (my family lovingly calls the big blue bus). They have developed a unique in school STEAM project for Middle schoolers called "The Hover Craft Project" It's the most incredible thing. You can check it out yourself here: https://www.thehovercraftproject.com/. This is their life, their income, their passion.

I could share endlessly on their love, generosity, support, and kindness they share with everyone they meet, But now is a time to share back with them. We are creating this go-fund me to help support them in this devastating time to meet some immediate needs, and for them to see the body of Christ come together and support and love them during this time!

We learned yesterday about this tragic accident where a car pulled out right in front of the big blue bus. The RV ran off the road it was ripped apart and is a total loss. Most importantly Matt walked away unharmed and Jenni and the girls were not on the RV (they were in Sarasota Florida during the accident) It was God's hand over the whole situation. The guy that hit Matt is hospitalized so please keep him in your prayers as well.

There are many details that can be shared moving forward however right now there are a few immediate needs :

1.) They need to find and purchase a Sprinter Style Van (in Syracuse NY) that Matt can live out of as well as pull a trailer that will hold the hover craft supplies so that he can continue working and traveling from school to school. (I mean Matt is the hardest working individual i know, and he will do whatever necessary to provide for his family and since his body is able he wants to keep working and servicing the schools in the area). - IF YOU KNOW OF ANYTHING IN THAT AREA PLEASE REACH OUT!!

2.) They had their entire life in that RV. It was their home, and it's now gone. It would be amazing if they could salvage a few things from it and be able to transport it back to FL. (they are trying to sort out the details of what that might look like but this is where some of this funding will go) There are many costs, and complexities but believing God is greater and will bless them through this.

3.) They spent all summer and so much money renovating the ENTIRE RV just a few months ago. The amount insurance might be willing to cover will come no where close to replacing what they had / need. (If the driver at fault even carried insurance at all is still unclear)

THIS IS WHERE WE COME IN!!!! Let's help them be able to find a way as soon as possible to continue traveling as a family in an RV, and serving the schools through The Hovercraft Project!

This family more than any other family I know shares everything they have... LET US BLESS THEM and take some of the financial stress and burden off of them as the navigate all this loss and move forward believing God will do abundantly more than we ask or imagine. We serve a Mighty God so keep the prayers coming!

One last thing, If you have made it this far ;) GREAT NEWS: If you are a school expecting the Hovercraft project, Matt is still coming! They have purchased a trailer and Matt is still on track to service your schools! What a miracle.
