Good morning. Coffee cheers shiké!☕️

It has been exactly two weeks (9/15) since my daughters and I found ourselves in the ER being assessed for injuries following a head-on collision and rollover after a cross country meet. While the memory of that day is still heavy, I am so incredibly grateful to share how far we have come in such a short time.

My girls Nat and Kam are officially fully back to their usual school and sports routines. Watching them jump right back into life has been a beautiful reminder of how incredibly resilient children are. They make my coffee and make sure I am comfortable daily and taking it easy. They are a blessing!❤️‍🩹

I’ve been able to get back to tending to our livestock in TséNiteel. It feels good to be outside doing the daily feeding and watering again, even if I'm moving a little slower, it’ll get better. Being a stay at home, self employed, full time dad, I am still obligated to prepare hot meals for our family. It has been enjoyable and comforting nevertheless.

Despite the major challenge of being completely without a vehicle right now, we managed to complete two photo sessions this week! It was definitely a physical challenge, but I refused to let down our loyal clients and athletes, and it was great being back out there with our people who continue to believe in us.

We are still navigating the hurdles of recovery and logistics, but your kindness and prayers is what keeps us moving forward. Thank you all so much for your continued support, your messages, and for sharing or donating to our GoFundMe. We could not do this without our community🙏 ‘Áhé’hee.

Dear relatives, friends, and community, Last night, as we were tra… Orin Yazzie needs your support for Help local photographer after a Head-On Crash

09/23/2026

It has been exactly one week since our accident (9/15), and we wanted to share a quick update on how things are going.

First and foremost, ‘Ahé’hee from the bottom of our hearts. When this happened, we were completely overwhelmed and shaken! Seeing our community wrap its arms around us through your incredibly generous donations, shares, and kind messages has given us so much comfort and strength during a really dark week. We truly do not have the words to express what your support means to us.

The funds raised so far are already helping immensely with daily living expenses while sidelined from our media services, allowing us to focus entirely on healing instead of the financial stress.

As for recovery, we are taking things one day at a time, one week at a time. My Natalie and Kamryn are back at school and getting back into their routine. Makes me happy for them. As for myself, although fractured ribs hinder me from getting the full rest I need, I still manage. Having to rest at a 45 degree angle every night to keep pressure off the chest, isn’t too comfortable, but it is what it is. The pain is manageable after a week, and doctors are happy with the initial progress.

We will continue to keep you updated as things progress. Thank you for standing by us when we needed it most. For your donations and sharing our post.🙏

With love and peace,
Oren Jaii Photo/ Family
