In light of this horrible accident the town of Granite City pulled together in an amazing display of community and has raised nearly $10,000 for the family.

This is truly a tragic ordeal for Serenity and her family and they are in our thoughts. Keep fighting Serenity we are now the ones cheering you on! The sky is the limit!
