Support Needed After Tragic Accident in Costa Rica
Brother Nii Nunoo, a dedicated conductor for the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) Railroad and a 15-year member of Local 1413, is facing an incredibly difficult situation.
While on vacation in Costa Rica with his family, Brother Nunoo’s 8-year-old son, Ben, fell from a hotel balcony due to a faulty railing. Miraculously, Ben survived the fall, but he sustained serious injuries. His injuries require him to remain in Costa Rica for extensive medical treatment and recovery. His mother will stay by his side for over a month as he heals.
The unexpected and exorbitant costs of medical bills, extended stays, and the need for specialized care in a foreign country have put a significant strain on the Nunoo family finances. As a union family, Local 1413 is reaching out to fellow SMART-TD members for assistance.
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help with these costs. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go a long way in supporting Brother Nunoo and his family until Ben has recovered enough to return home.
Please consider contributing to help ease their burden:
