When you get a call from your best friend upon their return from vacation, you don't want to hear that they have been in a near fatal car accident. You want to hear that you have a de-caf date so you can catch up on how thier holiday was. You want extra children running around your house so you can make them cookies. You don't want to hear that their children are hurt, stitched, on crutches, bruised, or sedated into a coma.
The Cloukey family (Jason- a.k.a. Hawk, 32, Jen, 32, Naomi, 12, Elijah, 10, Jonas, 8, and Tamra, 6) was ten minutes from home at mile marker 31 on 295 North when their van slipped on ice and rolled six times down the embankment of the highway. Hawk was thrown from the vehicle, Naomi was halfway out of the rear vent window, with the rest of the family left hanging inside. Jen climbed 150 feet to the road to flag down help, noticing only then that she had a broken wrist.
This is the most amazing, resilient family I have ever met, but they have been through too much to recover on their own. This blog is to update all who care for this special family, reach anyone who can contribute by donating to thier expenses, and to encourage everyone to keep them in your thoughts. Contributions will go toward the sea of medical expenses and help the cost of transportation to and from Maine Medical Center in Portland where Hawk and Naomi are staying. If you are a business that would like to contribute meals or fuel, please contact the administrators, otherwise your donations through PayPal go directly to the Cloukey family.

You all are in Bill's and my prayers. We would love to help in any way we can. Please let us know what we can do to help. We don't mind just making a meal, cleaning or even watching the kids.
Sincerely Maria Beauregard
