<div>Hi everyone,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are creating this page on behalf of Sonny to ask for support during a time that has changed our lives in ways we never could have imagined.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On December 14, 2025, Sonny experienced a serious accident while working cattle on the farm and suffered a spinal cord injury. In a moment, our family’s world shifted. Sonny is a husband, father, grandfather, and a lifelong farmer. He has spent his entire life working the land, caring for his family, and showing up for others. Farming isn’t just what he does - it’s who he is - and this moment has asked us to lean on hope, healing, and help as we navigate what comes next.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Right now, Sonny is focused on healing and rehabilitation, showing the same grit, determination, and quiet strength he has always carried. While the road ahead will be long, we remain hopeful and optimistic about his healing journey. As a family, we are doing everything we can to support him while learning how to navigate a new way of life together.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Many of the expenses we’re facing are unexpected and not fully covered by insurance. Funds raised through this page will help support:

</div>

<div>•	Temporary relocation for specialized care

</div>

<div>•	Ongoing medical care and spinal cord injury rehabilitation

</div>

<div>•	Adaptive mobility equipment and medical supplies

</div>

<div>•	Home modifications to make daily life safe and accessible

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are a very private family, and sharing this isn’t easy. But so many friends, neighbors, and members of our community have reached out asking how they can help. This page is simply a way for those who wish to support Sonny during this time to do so. Thank you for being part of our village.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love and appreciation from our family.

</div>
