Dear Central Oregon community~

On Sunday, February 2, our beloved community farmers at Well Rooted Farms; Janelle, Frank, Scott, and their two little ones faced a tragic accident caused by a drunk driver. The driver swerved into their lane while on US97 causing a tragic accident, including 2 deaths.

The Maricle's truck was hit while towing an animal trailer, resulting in immediate pain and suffering. Their lives have been turned upside down and they urgently need our help!

As many of you know, farming doesn’t stop! The Maricle family works tirelessly to provide fresh food for our community and local restaurants.

Unfortunately, as the investigation unfolds, they've learned not only was the other driver under the influence, they also didn't have insurance. This adds to their burdens as they seek medical relief amidst this crisis.

Let's rally together! Every little bit counts in helping them get back on their feet. They have been in so much pain. Their truck and trailer they use to transport their animals were totaled. Your generosity will go a long way in supporting this amazing family during such a difficult time.
