On Wednesday morning, November 5th, Jon’s life changed in an instant when he was involved in a serious semi rollover accident. He sustained significant injuries, including 68 stitches in his face, four broken ribs, and a broken neck. The first day in the hospital was incredibly tough, but thanks to quick action, Jon was able to have surgery the next morning to fuse his C1 and C3 vertebrae. Now, he faces a long recovery with a neck brace and strict limits—no driving or lifting more than 10 pounds for at least 10 weeks.

During this time, Jon and Jess are doing their best to stay positive, but the challenges are real. With Jon unable to work and Jess searching for a new job, everyday expenses like rent, utilities, and car payments are piling up quickly. They’re grateful for every small milestone in Jon’s recovery, but the financial stress is overwhelming, especially during the holiday season. They never imagined needing to ask for help, but right now, they need their community more than ever.

Jon and Jess are reaching out to friends, neighbors, and loved ones for support—whether through a donation or a prayer. Every bit of kindness, encouragement, and generosity helps them take another step forward. They are deeply thankful for the prayers, donations, and heartfelt messages they’ve already received, and they hope that with your help, they can get through these next few months with less stress and more hope.
