If you remember (and here, I'll help you), the medical costs for the McKinney family are high and rising. Any help for them has been a blessing. The fundraiser brought in tens of thousands of dollars for the McKinney's.

Donations are still being taken, and they can be sent to First Guaranty Bank. Address to the Bryce McKinney Fund, P.O. Box 398, Ponchatoula, LA, 70454. You also can call (985) 386-2000 or toll free at (888) 375-3093.
