Support for Brighton Forest & TSA Community
Amberly Families,
I am sharing the below message from Shawn Gage, TSA President, to let you know of an opportunity to help out one of our own who was involved in the boating accident this past weekend. Please help if you are able!

Dear TSA Reps,
It is with sadness that I'm reaching out to the league to notify you of a tragedy that has struck one of our own on the TSA BOD, a family friend of hers, and the community of the Brighton Forest swim team.
As you may have seen in the news over the past few days, Jennifer Stehle was involved in devastating boating accident over the weekend that left her severely injured and in critical condition, and the incident also ended in the loss of a family and swim team friend, 10 year old Brooklyn Mae Carroll. As one can imagine, the community is reeling from this devastating event as they try to make sense of this tragedy.
The community is rallying around the families to provide as much logistical and emotional support as they can and have also organized Gofundme pages to help ease the financial burden that both families will have to endure as they navigate the next several months, and difficult years ahead.
Jennifer will have to endure multiple surgeries, procedures, weeks in the hospital, and ongoing rehab care. Donations will help to offset some of these medical bills, lost time at work, and meals for the family.

Donations for Brooklyn's family will assist with funeral costs, meals, and lost time at work during this incredibly difficult time for her family. A scholarship fund has also been created in her name to help support aspiring veterinarian students in the community as she had a strong passion for animals.

At your discretion, of course, please consider sharing this message with your teams in order to bolster support for these families (who are part of our big TSA family) during this incredibly painful time. Any amount, big or small, will help. And of course, please be respectful of their privacy during this time as they heal and mourn.
Very sincerely,
-Shawn
