On Saturday, December 6th, 2025 

Armando rolled down a steep embankment with a mule and landed almost
30-50 feet down. He was sent by ambulance and air flighted from Alpine to
UMC trauma center in El Paso with no insurance.
He suffered a fracture on his spine that requires him to be in a back brace
for a minimum of 10 weeks.
The financial burden alone will be a strain for Tracie while Armando is home
unable to assist with basic needs for their family of four and animals. 
All donations are greatly appreciated and will be used to pay basic living
expenses in advance, groceries, feed for their animals and hospital bills.
We are grateful for the outpour of love, support and good energy that
everyone has shown. We cannot thank you enough. Time to heal with the with the least amount of stress and worry. 

With love,

The Big Bend Gang ❤️ 

Armando, Tracie, Marcella and Killian
