Casey has a long road ahead of her but with the power of positive thinking and love and support from family and friends, we will see Casey to a full recovery. The realities of life are setting in and her medical bills are starting to pile up. With full insurance coverage her expenses are approaching $15,000. We are asking for your support by attending our event or by making donations of any kind. Tickets for the benefit can be purchased at "Hook, Line & Sinker Bait Shop" located at 98 E. Locust Street.
