On August 11th around 8:30 pm, Tina Schoenfelder and her 16-year-old son were in a head-on collision. Their vehicle then caught on fire. Her son was able to walk away with minimal injuries, but Tina had to be lifelined to St. Louis due to incapacitating injuries. She is looking at a long road to recovery. Today she goes into surgery (8/13) due to some of the injuries she sustained. Tina works full-time to help her husband with bills, and now the family is going without her income. Along with that, medical bills are already piling up fast, and the vehicle was a complete loss.
If you are lucky enough to know Tina and her husband Travis, you know that they would drop everything to run and help someone else. They are always there to help their loved ones and friends. They would even help a stranger they happened upon. Now they are the ones that need help. Let's show them what family and community is all about and help them in their time of need.
All donations will go directly to Travis and Tina's account.
