David's Story
On July 19, 2009 four-year-old David Harper was rescued from a burning vehicle in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A video of the heroic rescue was seen by millions of people throughout the world. His rescue brought out the best in a community. As David must endure many months of skin grafts and other treatments, along with extensive rehabilitation, his family must move to the Milwaukee area from their prior home in Tennessee. With a desire to live near Children's Hospital in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, new friends are coming together to help this family get settled in our community. While his parents devote their energy to helping David heal, we can focus our energy on ensuring their transition to Wisconsin is a smooth one. Click here to help. |
