<div>Our names are Jordon and Jocelan, and we’re reaching out during one of the hardest moments of our lives.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On December 19th, we were involved in a serious car-versus-semi accident that changed everything in an instant. The impact was severe — our car was completely totaled — and while we are incredibly grateful to be alive, the aftermath has been overwhelming.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Jordon suffered a broken sternum, causing significant pain and limiting his ability to work and move normally. Both of us also re-injured our spines, including herniated discs, bringing back chronic pain and mobility challenges we had previously worked hard to manage.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In the midst of this, Jocelan has been caring for Jordon day to day — helping with basic needs, appointments, and recovery — while also navigating serious pain and limitations of her own. We’re doing our best to support each other, but it’s been physically, emotionally, and financially exhausting.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Since the accident, the financial strain has grown quickly. Between emergency medical care, follow-up appointments, imaging, medications, ongoing spine treatment, lost income during recovery, and the sudden loss of our vehicle, the costs have added up faster than we could have anticipated.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Asking for help is not something that comes easily to us. Over the years, we’ve tried to show up for our community — participating in community clean-up projects, helping people experiencing homelessness, and supporting addicts in finding resources, because we’ve been in those shoes ourselves and we know how much it matters when someone shows up.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Accepting help now is humbling, but we’re learning that community works both ways.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Any donation, share, or kind message means more than we can express.</strong> Your support will help us focus on healing, stability, and rebuilding after this accident, instead of worrying about how we’ll make it through the weeks ahead.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for taking the time to read our story, for your kindness, and for standing with us during this difficult chapter.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude,

</div>

<div>Jordon &amp; Jocelan
