Accident Kills Mother & Daughter, Help Family
Hi,
On July 22, 2021, my 75 year old sister Mary Leverett and her 35 year old daughter Angela Barkell were tragically killed when their minivan was hit broadside by a tractor trailer, 2 miles south of Stryker, Ohio. In addition, four other members of the Barkell family in the minivan were all injured, one critically. They were down visiting their mom and grandma in Ohio from Wyoming!
I have attached a copy of the vehicle photo, and a news account can be found here to demonstrate that this is real: https://www.crescent-news.com/news/local_news/two-killed-four-injured-in-crash-near-stryker/article_dcbd2750-8a6a-54f0-a9f6-a25537a4d8ce.html
This entire family had a tremendous love for God. My sister Mary was the most devout and Christian example of anyone I have ever met. She and the Barkell family lived their entire life for God - it was their life. They did not deserve this fate.
Sadly there are enormous bills to pay for burials and intensive medical care, a car to get back to Wyoming, and to care for the future health and welfare and college educations of the Barkell family (Cheston, Rose, Lion, and Hunter). Insurance won’t begin to cover it.
Could you find it in your heart to skip just one dinner out and send $50 or $100 dollars to help in this tremendous time of family need. Every donation matters and is gratefully appreciated -- no matter how small.
After reading this, please post to your social media sites, and send this to at least ten of your friends and family via email. I am confident that you will be justly rewarded. May God's peace be with you and thanks for taking the time to read and consider donating! A comment to the family is a blessing, even if you are unable give!
Lamentations 3:55-57
"I called on your name, O Lord, from the depths of the pit. You heard my plea: "Do not close your ears to my cry for relief." You came near when I called you, and you said, "Do not fear."
The Lord gives us strength when we are weak and gives us comfort when we are scared.
