Samantha's Medical and Auto Bills

After leaving work Friday night, October 13th, Samantha was hit by a drunk driver and ended up in the hospital. The driver was arrested and charged with his THIRD DUI charge, so hopefully the law works the way it should, but in the mean time, they could use some help.

Having recently moved here from Florida, Sam and her spouse Andrew, along with two kids, have taken up Benson, Nebraska as a source of income, camaraderie and friendship and could definitely use some help. Their only car has been totalled, a safe form of transportation for getting kids to and from school and personal transportation to/from work and etc, and she'll be out of work for an undetermined amount of time, all along with needing more surgery from the injuries sustained from the accident. 

That being said, this is solely to benefit them in this gray period of figuring out the next steps. Bills compound quickly, feeding two children isn't free and life can sometimes catch you up in the tangle so I'm trying to help them out while the times are rough. 

For those of us in Omaha, I'm holding an event at Beercade in the basement Sunday, October 22nd that is FAMILY FRIENDLY with food provided, free play on tons of arcade games and pinballs, and a suggested $10 in person donation to drink off of a donated keg and hang with friends. Event link to follow

That event can be found here

For the rest of people who cannot either make the event, want to help in a different way, or live elsewhere or back in her home state of Florida, I hope this helps and is an easy way to send them a little help that I will get to them as quickly as possible.
