On June 22nd Daryn Ladabour and Alhelí Caton-Garcia were heading home to the South Valley on their motorcycle when they were struck from behind by a hit-and-run driver who then fled the scene on foot. Although Daryn and Alhelí were thrown from the bike, wonderfully and thankfully they both survived and will make a full recovery. However, each of them sustained significant injuries and were immediately taken to the emergency room. Daryn sustained a fractured wrist, a cracked rib, and internal bleeding. Alhelí sustained a broken hand and pelvis. Both have extensive "road rash" and lacerations.

Daryn has been discharged, but continues to experience intense pain and difficulty moving. Alhelí remains hospitalized and will likely require many more days of hospital care and in-patient physical and occupational rehabilitation. Medical bills and loss of income are two things we can help them with while they heal and recover from this traumatic and terrifying event.

We know times are tough, so please know that any amount helps, and that your good thoughts and kindness are just as valued and appreciated. If you know Daryn and Alhelí you know that they are the first people to help anyone anytime. Please help us get them back to good.
