Support Teressa and Ashtyn After Tragic Accident

Dear Friends, Family and Community,

My name is Ryan Kraus, my family and I are horribly devastated about the events that happened a few days ago. My cousin Teressa Brandt along with her daughter Ashytn and fiance Wyatt were struck head on by a drunk driver trying to pass in a no passing zone. Unfortunetly we lost Wyatt and Teressa is undergoing major medical care. Her daughter Ashtyn has a broken femur and had a rod put in, but she is doing very well. Teressa has a major traumatic brain injury, neck and back fractures, rib fractures, pneumothorax, liver laceration, kidney trama, pelvic fracture, right and left femur fractures, right tibial fracture, fractured right patella, left humeral bone fracture, left elbow dislocation and multiple fractured fingers and a few other physical injuries. Teressa is a mother of 3 beautiful children, just started a career as a nail technician, worked many years for Kalispell Auto Group at the Toyota dealership in Kalispell. If anybody know Teressa, knows that she is sweet, thoughtful and intelligent person. Her goofy side and smile is very contagious, makes her very fun to be around and have her as a friend and family member. We love her so much and feel so horrible that she has to go through with this. She is currently in a coma but she's stable and holding in there. Any help from this Go Fund will be put towards her personal bills that will be piling up, and obviously will be other things to pay for down the road, it will also be helping her daughter Ashtyn with any funding she will need down the road. Going to be a long road with many hurdles ahead of us. Please keep Teressa, Ashtyn and Wyatt in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your generosity and support during this heartbreaking time.

With gratitude

Ryan Kraus, Amanda Sharpe and the rest of our family
