Caring Family Seeks Grant Money For Accident Disabled Aunt - by Robert F. Guetterman (Cherry Valley, IL, USA).

My Name is Robert Guetterman. I'm from Waterloo, Illinois. I'm writing on behalf of my aunt Ruth Kelso from Belleville, Illinois.

She has been in the hospital for four months since the accident she had while going to her son's house to babysit.

She misjudged her space in the lane in a construction zone and was brutally injured by the air bags on her vehicle.

She suffered multiple broken ribs as well as a fractured neck. She was on oxygen at home before the accident.

Her daughter was just diagnosed with breast cancer.

On behalf of the Kelso family we would appreciate any help you can give.

Rick, Bill, Sandy, Gary, Jimmy, Jerry, and family.
