LEBANON COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — A Pennsylvania family has received a wave of support after they were involved in a fatal crash while on vacation this week.
Ray Craft, 33, was killed in the crash. His wife, Cara Craft, suffered life-threatening injuries, according to a GoFundMe organized in support of the family.
Their two-year-old son. Anthony, only suffered minor injuries in the crash, which the GoFundMe organizer said was “an absolute miracle.”
Cara used to work at The Jigger Shop, a restaurant in Mount Gretna. The restaurant shared its support for her family.
“Many of our longtime customers and staff may remember Cara from her time with us,” The Jigger Shop wrote via Facebook. “Our hearts are with her, her son, and all of their loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”
According to reporting from WFMZ, Cara is a high school music teacher and theater director at Whitehall High School in Lehigh County.
Since the crash, Cara has undergone multiple surgeries and will require continued physical therapy and medical care, according to the GoFundMe.
Donations will go toward the Cara’s medical and rehabilitation expenses, burial and funeral costs for Ray, care for Anthony, and basic living expenses, the organizer said.
The campaign has already raised over $66,000 as of Saturday evening.
“Every single dollar donated brings Cara and Anthony closer to stability,” the organizer wrote. “If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this with others within your community and keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers. Cara and Anthony will need those too. Thank you for your immense kindness.”
