(UPDATE: Correcting local number, address)
Teamsters Local 120 in Fargo, N.D., is hosting a dinner and silent auction next Saturday for 6-year-old Haily Merchant. Haily was born with spina bifida and is paralyzed from the waist down.
The West Fargo Pioneer tells the story:
A Silent Auction will be featured from 4 to 9 p.m. and a Spaghetti Dinner will be served from 5 to 8 p.m., at the Teamsters, 21 18th St. S., Fargo.
Haily cannot bare weight on her legs so a wheelchair has been her main mode of transportation since she was three. Her friends say “she loves popping wheelies and “runs” as fast as she can – quite a little show off with her enthusiasm so much fun to watch.”
Because of her condition, it makes getting her in and out of the car a difficult thing and a struggle for her mother, so friends and family are trying to raise money to help lower costs for a handicap accessible van, which will also help Haily be a little more independent. Consequently, proceeds from the benefit will go toward securing the van.Props to Local 120!
