Fatality #28

Rebekah BoydVolunteer News

The industry suffered a very horrific fatality yesterday in the Miami, FL area. A friend of the family contacted us and gave us her version of the story. She worked for the company previously and said they were very unsafe. It has been said that this was destined to happen. Tito Hernandez was a Cuban immigrant that only spoke Spanish. He was 67 years old! His foreman was out sick and they sent 67 year old Tito and a groundsman with 15 months experience to handle this job. The groundsman was not qualified to rescue Tito, and Tito was not qualified to perform the job without the foreman. This family is going to need a lot of support! We are working on possibly creating a separate fundraiser specifically for this family. Please take the time to pray for this family. If anyone speaks Spanish, you will be needed in this case, so please contact Rebekah Boyd 985-773-4601.
