Michael Franco's Recovery After Plane Crash

On Thursday, June 16, Michael Franco and two friends (Sean Harrison and Jeffrey Trufant) were flying in a small plane, taking aerial photos of a summer camp in the mountains of North Carolina. Toward the end of their flight, the plane became unresponsive and crashed in a wooded area on the outskirts of the camp. Miraculously, all three survived, though they were all very badly injured. Michael suffered a number of severely broken bones and internal injuries, and he now faces a long process of treatment and recovery including multiple reconstructive surgeries. Michael and his wife Erin have five young children and are expecting their sixth. They live in Baton Rouge, and Michael is self-employed. The financial weight of this tragedy (medical bills and Michael's inability to work) will be a major burden for them. So, please consider a generous gift so they can focus completely on Michael's recovery and the well-being of their family!

If you'd prefer to send them funds directly, you can give to Erin's Venmo account: @erinfranco.

And, please be considerate of the family during this time and keep direct contact to a minimum for a while.  Thank you!
