Tara Hammond Recovery

Donation protected
We are pleased to have helped with Velmer "Toot" Huff Jr.'s memorial services and Stephanie, Velmer’s daughter has requested that moving forward we focus on providing support for Tara....

Written by Tara’s daughter in law:

On May 12, 2025, our world was turned upside down.

Tara Hammond, our mother, beloved gammy, and an amazing friend was the passenger on a motorcycle involved in a devastating crash in Elkton, Maryland. While the driver, Velmer Huff Jr., tragically lost his life, Tara was rushed to Christiana Hospital with life-threatening injuries and is now in a coma.

Tara’s kids are doing everything they can to hold things together. In addition to managing their own lives, they’ve taken on full responsibility for their mother’s home, bills, pets, and day-to-day needs — all while trying to stay strong for her and navigate the emotional toll of this awful tragedy.

We’re raising funds to help ease that financial burden. There is a long road to recovery. Our goal is to provide enough support so Tara’s kids can focus on what truly matters: being there for their mom during this critical time, without the added stress of mounting expenses.

Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference. Your generosity will help this family stay afloat and feel the love of a community rallying behind them.

Please consider donating or sharing this. Your kindness means more than words can express. Let’s surround Tara and her kids with the strength and support they need right now.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.


we will be providing the funds to Tara’s son John Morganstern to use toward recovery.
