Meet Gus, Jess, and their baby boy, Axel.
After spending a beautiful day together apple picking, their lives were turned upside down in an instant. On their way home, their car was T-boned by a truck — resulting in serious injuries for the entire family and totaling their vehicle.
Gus suffered a skull fracture and a brain bleed and needed surgery. He is currently on a ventilator and waiting for his swelling in his brain to stabilize.
Jess sustained multiple fractures in her hip. Baby Axel, their little fighter, has a concussion, bruised lungs, and a cut on his liver — but he is thankfully showing signs of recovery.
This young family now faces a long road to healing. With three significant hospital stays, extensive recovery time, and the inability to return to work any time soon, they are in need of support. They are blessed with a loving and supportive family, but the financial burden is going to be overwhelming.
Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward their medical expenses, rehabilitation, and basic living needs during this difficult time.
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for your love, prayers, and support.
