World of Good Blogburst, Amy Hawkins Style

This post will stay on top for a time. I faked the date in blogspot to keep it here.

Thanks to TNChick, we have this story.

A local woman in Hendersonville (which is the city next to Gallatin that I’ve posted about in case you weren’t aware) was home with her two children (ages 3 and 6). Her husband is a firefighter (and baseball coach, too). He wasn’t home during the storms as he was out protecting others. Anyway, she protected her children by puttin’ herself over them and in doing so, she was seriously injured. The tornado destroyed her house. She laid herself over her two boys and when the bricks fell, they fell on her and they broke her back. The children were fine, however, Amy will now be paralyzed and may never walk again.
Please visit this woman's website and see what you can do for her.

I did a little research. The story looks genuine. Here's the local newspaper story on it.

For those of you new to The Scratching Post, we do a weekly World of Good post along with several other fine blogs. Here's our most recent one. This particular topic was so compelling that I thought it worth a special post.

Thanks,
K T Cat

This news really affects many around here. I'm not in Hendersonville but next door... and I know how much the family and friend would appreciate getting the word out. Thanks for sharing her story.
