Naomi and Zach's Motor Vehicle Accident

Who they are

Naomi and Zach are a young married couple. They live in Alamosa, CO with their Furbabies. Naomi enjoys working for Dominoes as a General Manager. She loves to care for her plants and flowers. Zach spends time playing games online with his friends while he streams them live on multiple platforms. He also finds joy taking hikes outdoors and enjoying the natural beauty of Colorado.

What happened

Zach and Naomi were driving to a work conference for Naomi in Albuquerque, NM. They were almost to Ojo Caliente, NM when their vehicle was hit head on. Their vehicle is totaled and they were rushed to the hospital.

Naomi

Thankfully, Naomi has been released from hospital. She sustained major contusions (bruises) and minor scrapes. She is struggling to cope with the mental and emotional load of a traumatic event, as would anyone in her position.

Zach

The brunt of the vehicle damage was sustained on his side of the vehicle. He will need surgeries on his hip and arm. He also has a TBI (traumatic brain injury). His skull fractured and caused a piece of bone to be lodged into his brain. As I am typing this, he is having an emergency craniotomy for this.

Going forward

There's no telling what life will look like in a couple hours, let alone the next few days or weeks to come. Naomi and Zack are stuck in a place unfamiliar to them where their lives seem to have frozen in time. As we all know, the world continues to turn. Naomi will be incapacitated by bills and everyday finances while adding on the handling of insurance, cost of hospital stay and care, finding food, and finding somewhere to stay.

How you can help

Well, you're on GoFundMe. Naomi has family on the way and Zach's family will be on their way. They will have familiar faces there with them to support them. We all know you wish you could be there with them. I know I do. What they need right now is financial support. Naomi's boss has set Naomi up in the room they were supposed to be in during the conference. Unfortunately, that won't last forever. She will have to find somewhere to stay and food to eat. These are just a few of the unexpected expenses you can help with. Please consider giving as much as you feel comfortable. We understand these are hard times for everyone so if you are unable to gift financially, please send up as many prayers as you can.
