Ashleys Army

My brother Rick lives next door to a young lady who had a horrible car accident while attending the University of Evansville in Indiana.

Her name is Ashley and she was left paralyzed from the chest down. I met her parents at a bar-b-que at my brothers' home a while back and let them know that I would be happy to help them out if they wanted.

Last week we helped with a silent and live auction/trivia night to raise money for a new car for Ashley equipped with a ramp, a swivel seat, and hand controls so she can drive.

We had great donations, a generous crowd and a great auction. We met the goal and Ashley now has a new car free and clear.
