Supporting Mario and Family after his Car Accident

Dear Friends and Family,

I'm reaching out today with a heavy heart and a hopeful spirit. My dad, Mario Noriega, recently experienced a severe car accident that has turned our family’s world upside down. We are infinitely blessed that he is alive and in one piece- and we can anticipate that the road to recovery is going to be a long journey.

On December 4th, 2024, as my dad was on his way to his home in Lake Travis from work, his car was involved in a 4 car collision. The accident left him with a pretty severe head trauma and a puncture wound just missing his femoral artery. He is going to be recovering from a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) He has been undergoing medical attention and ongoing care since his accident.

Due to the extent of his injuries, my Dad is unable to work. My step-mom only has a few days to take off work while we are trying to enroll in short term disability with his company. We are anticipating needing time to fully understand the financial implications as a result of this medical treatment.

How You Can Help:

We are humbly asking for your support to help cover these unexpected expenses. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Your contribution will go directly towards, medical bills, physical therapy, living expenses during recovery, etc. Me and my step-mother are working diligently to try and figure out how to proceed with this process in his recovery journey.

Anyone who has met my dad knows how big of a heart he has for his people. Family and friends and strangers alike. My dad Mario is so many beautiful things. A son. A warrior- a soldier and veteran. A husband. A brother. A proud college graduate. A proud real estate agent. A damn good father. The most selfless person I know. And most importantly a beautiful expression of god and the universe. He is never the type to ask for help even when he really needs it because he has always picked himself up when he gets knocked down. But now he needs help to pick him up in his dire time of need.

We are incredibly grateful for any help you can provide. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us during this difficult time. Even if you’re unable to donate, sharing this page on your social media & with friends and family would be immensely appreciated. All the prayers and positive thoughts are needed.

Thank you for being there for us. With your support, we can help my Dad get back on his feet and begin the healing process.

With love and gratitude,

Dakotah Noriega
