Marines Injured

Two were local Jones County Marines, one was killed and 22 were injured in a bus accident.

Trey is the son of one of my team members. He will be wheer-chair bound because he has lost the ability to use his legs. So that means they have to find the money to make their home handicapped accessible and to purchase a van for his transportation. They have incurred alot of traveling expenses because the hospital is a 2 hour drive from their home. At this time they have not received any reimbursements from the military.

Trey's father wound up in the hospital in April thinking that he was having a heart attack. His ribs are cracked and caught pneumonia as a result as well. He had blood between his ribs and lungs.

My team member says that she wants to dig a hole for her to climb into.

Please say an extra prayer for Donna and her family. We are taking up a collection in order to make an attempt to help this family.
