January 8, 2026 at 5:00 PMThe critically injured man is my child’s father, so I want to thank all of the first responders for everything they did to get him out of the vehicle as quickly as they did. I’d also like to ask anyone who reads this to please pray for him because unfortunately he’s in very bad shape and we’re being told he may not make it. I believe in the power of God and the power of prayer, so please take a minute and pray for him and the rest of his family, especially his children as we need all the prayers we can get. Thank you and God bless!
