On August 1, 2025, Kat Marin and Joe Pandolfi were involved in a devastating motorcycle accident near Sturgis, in Lusk, Wyoming.

Tragically, Joe passed away at the scene. Kat was airlifted to a hospital in Colorado, where she remains in stable condition with serious and complex injuries. The duration of her hospital stay is uncertain, and her journey toward healing will be long and challenging.

Kat’s sister, Patti, immediately flew out to be by her side and is now coordinating her care during this critical time.

This fundraiser has been created to help relieve the overwhelming financial burden facing Kat, Patti, and their families. Your generous support will help cover additional expenses that are beyond our control. Such as:

- Family travel to Colorado and lodging expenses while they stay near the hospital for Kat’s care.

- Medical transportation to bring Kat back home to Florida when she is able

- Household and daily living support while Kat recovers and regains independence

This heartbreaking tragedy has forever altered two families. What was meant to be a joyful chapter in Kat and Joe’s lives has become one of profound grief and unimaginable loss.

Any contribution—no matter the size—will make a meaningful difference. Your kindness, support, and compassion are deeply appreciated as Kat begins the long process of healing.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

- Kristy and Jenn (Patti's daughters, Kat's nieces)
