Smith Family Donation

On the morning of February 12, Wyoming State Trooper Parker Smith experienced one of the most terrible calls a law enforcement officer can get – a serious injury vehicle crash involving severe injury to a small child. What makes this crash even more tragic is that when he arrived on scene, he discovered the vehicle was his family’s minivan, carrying his wife and two children. Thankfully his wife, Aby, and four year old son, PJ, were not seriously injured.

Two year old Christian, however, was seriously injured in the crash and was flown to Scottsbluff, NE and then on to Children’s Hospital of Colorado for ongoing, advanced care.

Little Christian has a collapsed lung, fractured ribs, jaw, and skull, as well as a multitude of other serious injuries. He is currently on a ventilator. The care he requires is intensive and ongoing. This situation will put considerable strain on the Smith family over the coming days and weeks. They will need to navigate one parent trying to care for PJ at home, while the other parent is with Christian.

This will require hotel stays, meals, and fuel expenses – just to name a few things. The stress and uncertainty of this situation is unimaginable.

Anyone who has been around the Smiths know what kind, compassionate, and gracious people they are. Please consider helping them in their incredible time of need so they can put their focus on caring for their “little buddy”.
