Ali Gauger

The Story:  As you all know our dear wife, daughter, mother and friend, Ali Gauger, was in a severe accident yesterday and remains in the hospital in critical condition. As we all pray for Ali to regain consciousness with a full recovery, Chase and family are very appreciative for all the love, prayers and support that is being received.  As many of you are asking how you can support during this time, the family for Ali and Chase have decided to setup a donation campaign to help them in what likely will be a difficult and significant financial road ahead.  Please join us and donate from the heart to support our dear Ali!  Thank you and god bless!!!!
