Raising Money for some Local Heroes (Please Help Out)

[mayhem]

I know I dont post that often here, but I'm trying to raise some money for these great kids. Some of you may have seen this on the news this past week......

Sunday afternoon my friends daughter, Katie, was in a severe accident about 2 miles from our house. Another woman failed to stop at a stop sign causing Katie to T-bone her at close to 50mph. After her car came to a stop in the ditch it caught fire. Two boys, 17 and 15 years old, broke out her window and got her out of the car before it burnt to the ground. Everyone believes these two saved her life. We are all very grateful to them for their heroic actions.

I am trying to raise some funds to get these heroic boys a reward for saving Katie. I've put together a pay-pal account to accept donations, which then will be presented to the boys - along with some Donated Swag from Racing Org's and Businesses. Not sure if the reward will be cash or gift cards (open to ideas here). I would like to get a few bucks to Katie too, because she lost her purse in the fire, which had her phone, i-pod, her cash, etc. In addition to her personal belongings, Katie's car is a total loss.

Please help these kids out!!!!

Donations can be sent here: [email protected] (pay-pal)


Here is a few media stories on the crash and the kids:

This last one is an article written by her older brother.

The reward is saving the girls life.

The reward is saving the girls life.

I will agree, but a few buck in their pocket or a nice gift will put a bigger smile on their faces.


Thanks to those that have given or offered to send Swag!!
