Support Samantha's Healing After Tragedy

Hi, my name is Roger Griego. My Dad, Frank Griego, and my daughter, Samantha Griego, were in a tragic car accident in which my Daddy passed away at the scene. My dad was such a religious and good man. He loved his grandchildren and all his kids so, so much. He would do anything for us. He taught us all to help and respect others, and 'we are all equal' was his motto. He will be greatly missed.

My daughter, who was in the wreck, sustained major injuries including internal bleeding, a broken pelvis, a broken wrist, a broken arm, broken ribs, a broken collarbone, and a broken shoulder. She also has a major traumatic brain injury and bruising throughout her body, among other things. She is really trying hard, but we are only human and we are really hurting inside and out and struggling. She isn't doing too good mentally. She's struggling at the UNM trauma unit. She is also the mother of four children that need her. She is a single mother who cries every day for her Grampo and her kids. She is so very traumatized after the accident. Our life has turned upside down and will never be the same. She was so very close to her Grampo that passed away.

My daughter is going to need a lot of therapy and rehabilitation to get back to trying to live a normal life. It has been very hard on me mentally, physically, and financially. I have been by her side since day one, and it is getting very expensive renting a motel every night since I live out of town. I am struggling financially and finding it hard to find the means to be with her every day. With this, I am asking for your help. Without your support, we would probably have given up since everything is so hard for us right now. Please feel free to call me at [phone redacted] if you have questions. Thank you and God bless you all for your constant support. You are our angels sent from Heaven.
