Community Rallies for Francisco Rojo After Tragic Accident

The Rojo family is facing every parent’s nightmare after a devastating car accident just days before Christmas.

On December 19, Francisco “Fran” Rojo, 22, was on his way to work with his cousin, Jesus, when a reckless driver ran a red light at high speed and struck their vehicle.

Jesus, affectionately known as Gordo, suffered multiple broken bones and is now home recovering.

However, Fran’s condition remains critical. He sustained severe brain and internal injuries and has not regained consciousness since the crash.

The Rojo family has maintained a constant vigil at the hospital, consumed by a continuous, terribly stressful, and emotional day.

Fran’s insurance had not yet taken effect at the time of the accident. His father and brother have put their work on hold due to the severity of his condition.

Fran’s brother, Julio Rojo, has created a GoFundMe to help with mounting medical and living expenses. The family is asking the community for prayers and any form of support during this agonizing time.

The Rojo family, especially Fran, needs all the love and support the community can offer as they cling to hope for his recovery.

Speedy Recovery, Francisco Rojo.
