On December 30th, 2024, this sweet, vibrant 6-year-old Trip Steele was hit by a truck and trailer in a devastating accident. While we are relieved to share that he is stable, Trip has sustained serious injuries, including skull fractures, brain bleeding, he lost 50% of his left ear and has a blown right ear drum, bruising, and a broken jaw. As he continues to fight for recovery, Trip faces multiple surgeries and a long road ahead.
Trip is the kind of child who lights up every room with his infectious smile, boundless energy, and love for life. His playful spirit and sweet nature make it hard to imagine the pain he’s enduring, but through it all, his family remains hopeful that with the right care, he’ll continue to heal.
The financial burden of his medical care is overwhelming, and his parents are doing everything they can to stay by his side. We are asking for your help to cover the mounting medical bills and give Trip’s parents, Martina and JJ, the ability to focus on his recovery without the added stress of work. Every dollar raised will go directly toward his medical expenses, surgeries, and helping his family stay by his side through this difficult time.
Thank you for your kindness, love, and support during this incredibly challenging time. We are so grateful to have such a caring community around us. Together, we can help Trip get the care he needs and give him the best chance for a full recovery.
With love and gratitude!
