I came across this article today and my heart sank. A woman was attacked at the local library and now she can’t walk, talk or see. What has this world come to? She is only 18 years old and was just returning books to the Bloomingdale Library. She just graduated from East Bay High School and was preparing to leave for college this fall. She will need care for the rest of her life, she can’t walk, talk or see anymore. As I am reading the different articles about this, I am finding several groups within the area are holding fund raisers to help out the family of this young woman.
Let’s do our part as a community, if you find one of these methods suitable, please donate to this woman’s medical care.
The good news is they caught the suspect and is being held in jail now. Let’s just pray that this terrible thing never happens to anyone again
The community held two fundraisers to raise funds for her hospital bills. One was at the VFW hall in Ruskin, they held a spaghetti dinner.
The Valrico State Bank will be hosting a car wash this Saturday form 9-5. Be sure to stop by and get your car washed in support of this woman. This is being organized by some of the paramedics and fire fighters that responded to the call when she was attacked.
The article states you can make donations to the family through Sun Trust Banks. I found in another article the name of the fund, it is Bloomingdale Attack Victim Fund.
