Road to Recovery: A Fund for Esch Family Mass Casualty
Donation protected
Family and Friends:
As many of you are aware the Esch family suffered a devastating catastrophe May 18th, when a drunk driver plowed into 16 of our family members celebrating at a neighborhood park. We lost two members of our beloved family, Johnathan Esch, a first responder and loving husband and Dan Harris, devoted husband, father and sole provider for his family. Others remain hospitalized with serious injuries that will take months of rehabilitation.
While the remainder of our family are actively helping to get them through this time, your desire and requests to help have inspired us to establish a fund that will help our efforts go even further. The money donated will directly benefit all the victims and their immediate families. Funds will be used for medical needs, funeral costs, long-term care and other necessities to support recovery.
Your love and support continues to humble us. Thank you in advance for your contribution and love.
How we will use these funds:
This catastrophe has deeply impacted many of our family members, including several children. To respect their privacy, we are keeping their names confidential. Yet, it is important for everyone supporting us to know who they are helping.
These funds will be used to aid in the recovery of the following family members and/or their children:
- Jennifer Evans
- Jessica Harris
- Erika Glatz
- David Esch
- Carolyn Pock
- Melissa Olmstead
