Donations have been pouring in. People from the school, parents and the community have been supportive. One woman raised more than $600 from a bake sale. I didn't know a bake sale could bring in so much. We have a Web site, but it only reaches so many. But the support has been amazing.

It was devastating all around. So we wanted to do something to help since we couldn't be there to hold her hand throughout her time in need.
