Help Ben Come Home from St. Louis

While attending Championships in St. Louis with our team Gus Robotics - Team 228, one our students, Ben, came down with pancreatitis and was admitted to Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital.  He's getting better but is still in hospital (as of 5/2) until he's stable enough to fly back home to Connecticut.  While the rest of the team has returned home, his Mom Amy has remained in St. Louis with him.  We're hoping they're both able to come home soon!

Team 228 is raising money to help Ben and Amy with hospital bills, Amy's room and board, and travel costs.

Their expenses are building on a daily basis, so we're hoping to hit our goal within the next week or so in order to help them out.

We know that the FRC community is truly a family and if each FRC team contributes just a little, it will go a long way to helping Ben and Amy with this difficult situation!

It will be so amazing to see them finally come home - they and Gus Robotics will be incredibly grateful for any and all help they receive.

With thanks,
