Hello,

I am reaching out to our community for support during an incredibly difficult time for the family of Collin and Erin Sourdiff.

Collin Sourdiff, who grew up in the Burlington area and was a longtime local business owner, was recently involved in a severe car accident near Bakersfield, California. Collin has suffered traumatic, life-altering injuries and will require a series of major surgeries and rehabilitation.

While Collin is currently receiving treatment at a trauma center in California, his wife, Erin, and two children reside here in Vermont. Due to his injuries and upcoming surgeries, he will likely be away from his family for a considerable amount of time. We are asking for assistance to help cover the costs of travel to and from California for his family to be by Collin’s side as he recovers, as well as medical and any other essential family expenses.

We understand that this is a challenging time of year with the holidays, but any amount - no matter how small - would mean so much and be deeply appreciated.

All funds raised will go directly to the Sourdiff family.

We are so grateful for your generosity, thoughts, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time for the Sourdiffs.

Thank you for your consideration,

Kari Lavalette
