Support Our Friends After Devastating Car Accident

Urgent Help Needed: Family Devastated by Car Trailer Crash with $100,000+ in Medical Bills

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-hearted Strangers,

We are reaching out today with a deeply urgent request for support for our close friends, Hernan and Valentina who have been struck by an unimaginable event. They were involved in a severe car trailer accident while traveling with their two-month-old baby and grandparents in the vehicle. While their baby miraculously survived without injury, the emotional and physical toll on the rest of the family has been devastating.

The Situation:

In the crash, both of the grandparents, suffered catastrophic injuries. Grandma almost lost her arm in the crash after breaking both bones in her forearm. She required reconstructive surgery to save her arm and also underwent spinal surgery due to severe damage to her spine. Meanwhile, Grandpa suffered a fractured vertebra in his neck and had to undergo neck surgery to stabilize the injury

However, what makes this even harder is that the family’s travel insurance has failed them at a critical time. Despite having purchased coverage for emergencies like this, the insurance company making it difficult to access any money. This means that the family is facing over $100,000 in medical bills—a staggering amount that they simply cannot afford.

Here’s the breakdown of the current situation:

Three major surgeries for the grandparents.

Extended hospital stays and ongoing medical treatment.

Travel and accommodation expenses for family members who have had to travel to help and provide support.

Rehabilitation and other long-term care costs that are not covered.

The travel insurance that was supposed to provide some peace of mind during this stressful time has instead added to the burden, leaving the family scrambling to find ways to pay off medical bills that are growing by the day.

Why We Need Your Help:

This is where we, as a community, can come together to help. The family is facing an overwhelming amount of medical debt that continues to rise each day, and the situation is dire. We are asking for your support to help cover the $100,000+ in medical costs and other emergency expenses. Your donations will go directly to:

Covering the cost of surgeries, hospital stays, and medications for Grandma and Grandpa visiting from Argentina to meet their new grandson.

Assisting with travel and accommodation costs for family members who have had to stay with them during this recovery period.

Supporting with rehabilitation and long-term care that insurance refuses to cover.

Helping them get back on their feet while they focus on healing and recovery.

This is a family that never expected to face such an overwhelming situation, and they certainly didn’t anticipate being left without the support they thought they would have from insurance. Every contribution, no matter how large or small, will make a meaningful difference in their journey to recovery.

If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your network. Spreading the word is just as valuable and will help raise the awareness they so desperately need right now.

Together, we can make a huge impact and relieve some of the financial burden weighing on them during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you so much for your support, your generosity, and your kindness.

With gratitude,

Much Love
