Support Michael Waits: Our Local Hero's Recovery

Donation protected
Hello Everyone,

My name is Christine Coplen, and I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a hopeful spirit. On the morning of June 6th, Border Patrol Agent, Michael Waits, while driving home from an overnight shift, was at a complete stop waiting to make a left hand turn when he was struck from behind by another vehicle. The accident left him with a fractured skull and a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). He has undergone surgery and been stabilized, and will have a very long road to recovery.

Michael is an extraordinary individual who has touched countless lives. He’s been married to his high school sweetheart, Nicole, for 18 wonderful years. Together, they’ve built a beautiful family with their two daughters, Marie (15) and Abigail (13). They have chosen to remain in the Hereford/Sierra Vista area, raise their family, and serve the community.

For over ten years, Michael has dedicated his life to protecting our country as a Border Patrol Agent. His commitment to service and unwavering dedication have always been an inspiration to those who know him. Now, as he is in rehab, it is unclear what lies ahead for him, and we are asking for your help.

It has become apparent that his recovery will be long and uncertain. He will definitely need intensive ongoing physical therapy and rehabilitation.

The Waits family has deep roots in Sierra Vista. They are active members of the Sierra Vista Nazarene Church and have always believed in the power of community and faith. Michael has given so much to protect and serve others, and now we are humbly asking for your help to support him in his time of need.

Please consider making a donation to their GoFundMe campaign and sharing their story with your friends, family, and networks. All funds will go directly into, Michael and Nicole's account. Your prayers, love, and support are deeply appreciated as they navigate this challenging journey together.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being there for them. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to this family!

With heartfelt gratitude,

Christine
