Stand with Mark: Accident Recovery & Heart Surgery Support

Donation protected
My name is Lucy Trinidad, and I’m writing on behalf of my husband, Mark. Our family is walking through one of the most challenging seasons of our lives, and we humbly share our story believing we are not meant to face this alone.

On October 14, 2025, Mark was involved in a devastating head-on collision when a vehicle crossed the center divider and struck him on the driver’s side. He woke up in the emergency room confused, injured, and fighting to stay conscious. Many have told us he shouldn’t have survived. We believe God spared his life for a reason. His survival was a miracle.

The crash totaled his vehicle, yet we remain responsible for the balance. Mark spent 11 days in the hospital, followed by ongoing therapy and medical care. Since then, we’ve been facing mounting medical expenses, finance payments, and legal bills. The financial pressure has been relentless.

Then we received even harder news.

During follow-up care, doctors discovered a heart aneurysm. On February 20, 2026, we were told Mark needs heart surgery. After enduring trauma, recovery, and financial strain, we are now preparing for a major operation and another long road to healing.

Mark has always been the one who shows up for others. As a pastor and servant leader, he prays with people, encourages them, and carries their burdens without hesitation. Now, he is the one who needs support.

We are asking for your help. Your prayers, shares, and financial contributions will directly assist with medical expenses, surgery costs, and the overwhelming financial burdens that followed the accident. Every gift — no matter the size — makes a difference. It allows Mark to focus on healing instead of worrying about how we will manage the next obligation.

If you feel led to give, please know your generosity truly matters. If you cannot give, sharing this page means more than you know.

Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for believing in Mark. And thank you for helping us walk through this season with hope.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Lucy Trinidad
