Urgent Help for Justo's Family After Virginia Crash

Donation protected
My name is Clara Hernandez. I met Justo Manuel Bautista through my mother, who worked with him at J.Berry Nursery in Texas. Justo is a quiet, kind, and hardworking man here on an H-2A visa. which allows foreign nationals to fill temporary agricultural jobs in the U.S.
Recently, Justo's father, uncle, and cousin-also H-2A workers-were involved in a tragic car accident while traveling to a new job site in New Jersey. The vehicle they were in was rear-ended and rolled over several times. Justo's father suffered serious spinal and pelvic injuries, his uncle sustained a broken arm, and heartbreakingly, his cousin Ramon Ordaz Martinez lost his life.
Despite having permission to relocate, the company they worked for refused to help. Justo tried to get permission to visit his injured family members but was told doing so would forfeit his visa. He was devastated and helpless, unable to be with them in Virginia.
With no other family in the U.S., my mother and I have stepped in to help Justo however we can-making calls, translating, and seeking support. We kindly ask for any donations to assist with their medical expenses, transportation, an funeral costs.
If you'd like to help or contact Justo or his family, please reach out to me directly at (903) [phone redacted]. Thank You for your compassion and support.

Mi nombre es Clara Hernandez. Conoci a Justo Manuel Bautista a traves de mi madre, quien trabajo con el en J.Berry Nursery en Texas. Justo es un hombre tranquilo, amable, y trabajador que se encuentra en los Estados Unidos con una visa H-2A, un programa que permite a empleadores contractor trabajadores extranjeros para empleos agricolas temporales.
Recientemente, el padre, el tio y el primo de Justo-tambien trabajadores H-2A-sufrieron un tragico accidente automovilistico mientras viajaban a un nuevo lugar de trabajo en Nueva Jersey. El vehiculo en el que iban fue chocado por detras y volco varias veces. El padre de Justo sufrio graves lesiones en la columna y la pelvis, su tio tuvo una fractura en el brazo, y tristemente, su primo Ramon Ordaz Martinez perdio la vida.
Aunque tenian permiso para transladarse, la empresa para la que trabajaban se nego a brindarles ayuda. Justo solicito permiso para visitar a su familia herida, pero le dijieron que si lo hacia perderia su visa. Fue un momento de gran desesperacion e impotencia para el al no poder estar con sus seres queridos en Virginia.
Sin otros familiares en Estados Unidos, mi Madre y yo hemos hecho todo lo posible por ayudar a Justo: realizando llamadas, traduciendo y buscando apoyo. Pedimos humildemente cualquier donation que pueda ayudar con los gastos medicos, de transporte, y funerarios.
Si desea colaborar o contactar a Justo o a su familia, puede comunicarse conmigo directamente al (903) [phone redacted]. Gracias por su compasion y apoyo.
