I am Tanner Griffitt , a Local Chairman for Smart TD 1168 Clovis/Carlsbad  A team of Local Chairman from multiple locals have organized this account on behalf of Mr. Barela, we decided this should be done to help a brother in need.

Brother Barela sustained serious life altering injuries April 11th 2019 while working as a switchman in Belen New Mexico rail yard, due to the severity of his injuries he may never be able to work or provide for himself or family again, any donation would be greatly appreciated!
