HOLIDAY, Fla. — Isaret Jeffers' phone hasn't stopped ringing since news of Tuesday morning's bus crash in central Florida.
"I feel so sad," Jeffers said.
Jeffers is busy enough as founder of Colectivo ARBOL, an organization that works with migrant farm workers in Tampa Bay and throughout the state of Florida. However, comments and questions keep pouring in about ways to support the eight people killed in the crash.
An arrest report unsealed states the eight farmworkers killed were from Mexico.
More than forty others were hurt with some facing critical injuries, according to local law enforcement.
"These people come [from] Mexico to here for work, for picking up vegetables. These people work very hard. They start sometimes three o'clock in the morning," Jeffers said.
Jeffers, whose parents and grandparents were also involved in the farms partners with the Consulate of Mexico in Orlando.
The consulate Juan Sabines Guerrero said he is working with the families of the loved ones killed, along with others affected.
"We need to bring health support, legal support to the farm workers," Guerrero said during a press conference.
Guerrero said the workers are working under a temporary agricultural work visa.
Jeffers said the farm workers just want to be able to provide for themselves and their families, adding she's eager to help the families affected in any way she can.
Six of the eight victims killed in the crash range in age from 20 to 46.
