Dear Friends and Family, On Thursday, June 1, Gavin, Landis and Gavin's girlfriend got into a fatal car accident on their way home from Gavin's graduation. They were hit (t-boned) by a truck who ran a red light through the intersection of Keller and Winchester Road. Tragically, Gavin's girlfriend died upon impact. Gavin suffered cuts and bruises and a fractured hand and Landis is currently in the hospital in a coma from severe brain injury, You can read more about the accident here: https://patch.com/california/murrieta/murrieta-teen-killed-2-others-injured-winchester-overnight-crash. What has happened is unfathomable and every parent's worst nightmare. We are asking for prayers for Gavin's girlfriend's family and for Landis to be healed and be restored. Landis has suffered a severe brain injury. She is in a coma with pain management and in the care of neurological surgeons who are testing her daily for neurological progress. The status is not day by day with an injury of this size - it is hour by hour. We covet your prayers.

As time goes on, expenses are building up in light of this entire situation. Medical expenses are incurring as well as miscellaneous fees associated with the accident. Medical equipment will need to be purchased for the Hooper house when Landis does continue to progress. Thank you for any donation you can make to this wonderful family in the midst of tragedy and trauma. They are going to need everyone's support.

We thank our God Jesus Christ for his provision of all of you reaching out and giving gifts, food, thoughts and love. We hold on to our Lord and Jesus Christ, who in Joshua 1:1-9 says "For I will be with you...I will not fail or abandon you...do not be afraid or discouraged. For Lord,Lord your God is with you wherever you go." God is near to the broken-hearted. His word is a comfort to us all.
