<div>
 On July 20th, our lives changed forever when our home was destroyed by a fire. We are beyond grateful that we made it out alive, but we lost absolutely everything we owned.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 To make an already heartbreaking situation even more difficult, my wife, Lee Ann, is currently in the hospital after suffering a seizure. All of our medications were destroyed in the fire, leaving us trying to replace essential prescriptions while also dealing with this devastating loss.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our family also includes Merritt, who is autistic and is trying to process the sudden loss of his home and everything familiar to him. We also have our three dogs with us, and we’re doing everything we can to keep them safe and cared for during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We are starting completely over. The funds raised will help us with temporary housing, clothing, food, toiletries, medications, replacing essential household items, caring for our dogs, and the countless unexpected expenses that come with rebuilding our lives from nothing.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you are able to donate, no matter the amount, we would be incredibly grateful. If you’re unable to give, sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family would mean just as much.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 This has been the hardest experience our family has ever faced, and we cannot express how much your prayers, kindness, and support mean to us. Thank you for helping us take the first steps toward rebuilding our lives.

Support for Our Family After Devastating Fire

<div>My brother-in-law, Scott Walton, was the pilot of the Care Flight medical plane that crashed fatally on Friday, Feb. 24, in Nevada. Transporting patients to receive life-saving care was an absolute passion and life’s mission for Scott. He was one of those special people who lit up a room, who brought smiles to everyone’s face, who never met a stranger.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now his loving wife and three young daughters, who were the center of his world, are left to navigate the future without him. He loved them more than absolutely anything in the world. And we know his one, desperate worry will be their future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to being the rock of his family, he was also the main financial provider for the family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To help his wife with the uncertain future ahead, we have started this GoFundMe to benefit them. All donations will be given to Scott’s wife to help provide for the girls’ future.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>We appreciate any and all support to help provide for them. Your thoughts and prayers are also appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Scott’s family is grieving deeply and asks for your prayers and understanding of their desire for privacy at this time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Scott was an exceptional pilot of the highest caliber. He spent years as a flight instructor, teaching students from around the world to fly. We have no doubt that whatever happened during the flight was unrecoverable and that Scott did everything possible to keep all aboard safe.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our hearts are broken for all those aboard the flight. We pray for all those who love them and are grieving too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>**This is the family's official GoFundMe fundraiser. All donations will go directly to Scott's wife.**

<div>As many of you have come across, on Friday, February 24th at approximately 9:45pm, Careflight’s PC 12 Fixed-wing aircraft went off radar near Stagecoach, NV. Unfortunately, none of the passengers survived— the pilot, flight paramedic, a patient+family member, and the most devastating news for me, the flight nurse, Ed Pricola.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you knew Ed personally, you were either a personal friend or family member, a fellow Veteran, a fellow employee at Carson Tahoe Health or at Renown Regional Medical Center, a Crossfit athlete at Double Edge Fitness, and most recently, a fellow crew member with REMSA Careflight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ed graduated from UNR-Orvis School of Nursing in May of 2019. He just began his Careflight journey last fall, after working as a charge nurse at Carson Tahoe in the emergency department. He put NP-school on hold, with the determination to learn critical care and apply his knowledge and skills in the field. It’s no surprise that Ed, at 32 years old, was helping others when his life was taken far too soon from all of his loved ones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ed leaves behind Lauren, the love of his life of over 12 years, his daughter Riley (4), his son Everett (2), and his golden retriever, Rip.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>**After starting this one, I discovered there was a GoFundMe that was already started by his friend, Aaron McCrea. ALL FUNDS RAISED HERE will go to Lauren as the beneficiary.
</div>
<div>Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Friday, February 24th, at approximately 9:45 pm a PC 12 fixed-wing aircraft, tail number N273SM, went off radar near Stagecoach, Nevada. We are heartbroken to report that none of the five people on board survived. The five people on board were a pilot, a flight nurse, Ryan Watson (Flight Paramedic), a patient, and a patient’s family member.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ryan was a loving Husband, New Father, Son, Brother, Friend, and an incredible care provider whose dedication to his family and community was unmatched. Ryan loved being a Flight Medic and brought a positive attitude to every call and patient interaction he had. Ryan had an infectious personality; he was hilarious, ambitious, and free-spirited. He loved traveling the world and going on extreme adventures outside of work with his beautiful wife Kailey, Family, and Friends. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kailey and Ryan welcomed a new addition to their family on January 19th, 2023, Carter Watson. All donations will provide support for Ryan and his family. This is the only fundraiser at this time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The beneficiary is The Watson Family.

Newlyweds Mallory and Travis were out bouldering last week and Mallory was in a severe climbing accident. Her husband Travis was climbing and Mallory was spotting when a half a refrigerator size block came off with him on it. The block missed Travis and hit Mallory, sending her tumbling down to land on the rocks. She ended up losing her index finger, having a plate put in her middle finger, 5 staples in her head and a severely broken foot. She spent 5 days in the hospital, has already had 3 surgeries, including skin grafting onto her foot and will continue to need follow up care. Travis and Mallory are staying positive as this could have been a lot worse. Mallory is in good spirits and on the road to recovery.<br /><br />Mallory is the most loving, open-hearted, bright spirited, optimistic person I've ever known; even in the midst of these obstacles, she is staying strong and trusting a higher power.

Let's help Travis and Mallory with their medical expenses, to help lighten the burden of this terrible accident, and allow her to focus on healing!<br /><br />$25,000 will just begin to help get them through some of the expenses they will be facing, and having to deal with financial woes after such and injury, can just add to the  stress!
