Leo Mota Garland TX tornado victim

Donation protected
On December 26, 2015 an EF4 tornado hit Garland, Texas, as father, brother, and husband, Leo Mota, was driving home from work in Rockwall. The tornado blew his lawn service truck and trailer off of the highway, causing his still missing 19 year old passenger to be ejected from the vehicle and Leo to be thrown around the cab, resulting in severe brain trauma. He is currently on life support at Plano Medical Center with extreme brain swelling, outcome uncertain. 
Leo is the primary provider for his family, his wife Maria and four small children, Nancy, Erik, Dulce, and Camilla. The family does not have health insurance and this storm has put an even greater financial strain on the already struggling family. God forbid if his condition worsens and Leo does not recover, the family will need money for not only medical expenses, but for his funeral and basic living expenses. Any donation will help this family through their darkest hours. The goal needs to be met as soon as possible, since the family is without income with Leo in his condition. 
My name is Teresa Wisdom. The Mota children attend the elementary school at which I work. They also lived two streets over from myself and my family. My children would also baby sit the Mota's youngest two daughters as their parents struggled to make ends meet. Over the years my family has grown close to the Mota's, and this tragedy strikes close to my heart. Myself and the Mota family will be very thankful for donations as well as prayers. Thank you, and God bless.
