Help Jenny & Andrew Through This Challenge

Hello, my name is Andrew. I am a small farmer that grows hydroponic tomatoes and lettuce in Minnesota for year-round production so that people can have fresh produce year-round in a state that can get very cold.

So, a week ago, on February 25, my beautiful wife Jenny, who always goes every other week to see her elderly father in a town 50 miles away, was hit head-on by another driver. The roads were icy due to some light black ice.

She was badly hurt and has been in the hospital for almost two weeks. Her injury has caused her to miss work. She works at a local BP gas station, where everyone seems to just love her. She is the sunshine of their day in the morning. It will be 6 months or more before she can return to work.

The biggest problem is that it is getting to be a busy time on the farm with greenhouses, and now we just went from two incomes to one. I work as much as I can and travel the 100 miles round trip to see my wife, who is now very hurt.

My heart breaks when I have to leave her, but I have to get work done too.

My ask is that in your heart you could help us. I have never asked for help, but if I want to continue to provide fresh vegetables for the community, I realized that I better ask for help.

Thank you for taking the time to read my and my wife's story.
