<div>Dear OSA Community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you about a tragic incident involving two Oregon Student Association staff members, José Zapata and Joseph Cruz, who were on their way to an OSA staff retreat. On July 1st, 2024, a severe, head-on car collision occurred on Highway 20 in Lincoln County and resulted in multiple casualties. Sadly, José was among the two fatalities. Joseph was critically injured and is currently in stable condition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We extend our deepest condolences to José's family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. José was an incredible person who cared fiercely for his friends and family, his community, and making a difference in the world. His loss is deeply felt by all who knew him, and we ask for privacy and space for the families at this time. Our thoughts are also with Joseph, wishing him a swift and full recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To support Joseph's recovery and to assist José's family and partner during this period, we have set up this GoFundMe page and will provide updates as necessary. There will be a long road to healing and recovery ahead. Any contributions will be greatly appreciated as we all come together to support our colleagues and their loved ones.
