Help Sherana & Axel after cyclone destroys their home!

My mom, Sherana Ayala, and her husband, Axel Ayala, were recently in the news for a devastating series of events.

On November 19th, 2024, a historic cyclone hit the state of Washington. It injured dozens of people and even killed two. Unfortunately, my mother and her husband are among the dozens that were injured. At 9:00 P.M., a gigantic tree fell on top of the trailer that they were living in. It not only split their entire trailer in half, but it trapped and pinned them. Policemen, firemen, and paramedics all had to extract them both from the scene. My mother was able to be pulled immediately, but it took up to an hour and a half for her husband to be extracted from the scene.

They are both in stable condition but have suffered from injuries. Axel completely fractured his pelvis and is getting surgery. He will have an extremely long recovery ahead of him. My mother will need to get additional testing done to make sure there are no long-term injuries. Aside from their medical difficulties they will have to endure, they are now faced with severe financial hardship and are now without a home. The trailer completely split in half, and every single one of their items has perished in the storm. There is nothing salvageable. The only things they have are their vehicles, and that is because they parked them in an indoor horse arena that is attached to the property that they are renting from.

Our names are Shelsea Stephenson and Katharine Barr. Shelsea is Sherana's daughter, and Katharine is Sherana's best friend.
