My name is Becky. Mandy and I were best friends within our friend group during our undergrads at Bethel.

A car accident took place on December 6, 2025. It should have just been a normal day, but instead lives were changed forever.

Mandy's beloved husband, Chris, was killed. As of the start of this page, their young teen son was fighting for his life, but he has also since passed.

As we often do in times like this, we want to help. But how? I have no idea what Mandy's needs will be, and she has multiple loving networks that will care for her well. But with all the kids, the expenses, and everything else - we can help to create some kind of financial foundation for her to have until she knows what she needs.

I ask you to not only give, but PRAY. Chris' faith was insurmountable. Mandy and her kids may need to borrow our faith for a bit. This is hard. It stinks. And it's a long-lasting impact. So please pray as you give. Or just pray!
