Support John and Ann Crail through two major tragedies

Life just isn’t fair sometimes. John and Ann Crail tragically lost their 36-year-old son Brian (second son they’ve lost) to a car accident in Oregon on October 26th. Brian loved his life and was excited about his career as a wildland firefighter as well as following his passion for BASE jumping and Tuff-Mudder events. He had so much to live for and his parents are beyond devastated.

As if that isn’t hard enough, Johnnie has been dealing with debilitating back pain and they just found out that he needs back surgery scheduled for December 3rd. John is one of the hardest workers and has been in the construction business working independent jobs often 6 or 7 days a week for most of his adult life. Ann runs a small business though most of their income comes from John’s work. Now he is unable to work and there is a possibility based on the severity of his back issues he may not be able to work again. They are dealing with crushing grief over the loss of Brian while being faced with a major surgery and long recovery as well as challenging financial times. I’ve known Ann since high school and both Ann and John are the givers in the world. Now they need our help to soften their path forward, bury another son, and support them as they navigate their unknown future. Every donation, no matter how small, will help and will let them know they are not alone. Let’s send them lots of love and support.
