If you’ve ever visited Athens Family Restaurant, chances are you’ve been greeted with a smile and kind heart by our waitress, Carrie Koch. Carrie is more than just part of our team—she's family.

Tragically, Carrie was struck as a pedestrian in a car accident here in Beaver Falls and is currently hospitalized with serious injuries, including fractures to her femur, tibia, and fibula, and a fractured pelvis requiring surgery. She’s in stable condition and receiving care, but faces a long road to recovery.

With mounting medical bills, rehabilitation ahead, and time off work, we’re asking our community to come together and support Carrie during this incredibly difficult time. Any amount—no matter how small—will go directly toward her hospital expenses, life flight transport, and helping with daily needs while she heals.

Carrie has spent years serving others. Now it’s our turn to serve her.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and generosity.
