Many of you may already know that my wife, Mercedez Lucke Benedict, was in a horrific car crash and was hit by a speeding reckless driver full force last Saturday while traveling on Picture Rocks road heading to work on her Saturday clients at LSPA. l am thankful she is alive. Her truck is most likely totaled and she is under doctors care. She has been seriously injured and is taking some time away from managing our exhibit, 501(c)3, creating content, podcasts, teaching, and her therapeutic healing work, while she recovers.
Please continue to keep Mercedez in your prayers. We truly appreciate all of the love, kindness, and support you have shown us. ❤️ A GoFundMe has been set up for her by Archbishop Ronald Feyl Enright and there is a link on her page.
Sincerely,
Artist Joe Benedict
