Resident appeals for help after pedestrian injury; council offers posting advice
Summary
A resident described the crosswalk injury to a child and asked for town help raising funds; councilors suggested sharing an existing GoFundMe link and local outreach. A community member offered to raffle or auction donated artwork to raise money.
During public comment a resident described being present the night a child named Lila was struck crossing the street and asked whether the town could offer ideas or assistance for fundraising. The resident said she planned a raffle or auction to raise money and requested guidance on how the town could help publicize efforts.
Councilors suggested posting the existing GoFundMe and adding the link to the county Facebook page. "One of y'all post on the Morgan County page, include a link?" a councilor asked, and staff agreed they could do that. The council encouraged community fundraising while noting the town's ability to promote links via official social channels.
