Lucas Espinoza is more than just a friend-he's a coach, a brother, an uncle, a dancer, and someone who brings light and energy to everyone around him. He doesn't have a lot of family support, so his friendships and the community he's built mean everything to him. We all care deeply about Lucas, and right now, he needs us more than ever.

Last night, while working his bouncing job and closing up for the night, Lucas faced a terrifying situation. Someone tried to enter the bar after hours, and when Lucas asked them to leave, they returned and hit him with their car in a hit-and-run. His injuries are very serious, with fractured ribs, broken clavicle, internal bleeding, and fractured vertebrae in his spine, along with 64 stitches & staples on his head and he's now facing a long road to recovery. With hospital bills, possible surgeries, and the reality that he won't he able to work for some time, Lucas is in urgent need of support.

Thanksgiving just passed, and while everyone has shared what they're thankful for, I'm just grateful that Lucas is still with us. I believe in the power of our small community to come together and lift him up during this difficult time. Any help you can give-whether it's a donation or sharing this fundraiser

—will make a world of difference for Lucas. Thank you for standing with him and showing what true friendship and community look like.
