"Are the hospitals taking donations for the injured?"

I am not sure if the following info. applies in this situation.

Most Amish families have a "pay as you go" type healthcare arrangement with their local doctors or hospitals. The families pool their money together and pay. This may or may not apply in this instance. But knowing just a little background...I will ask friends who live in that area for more info....or defer to those on FR like Thumper who may know more detailed info.

Thanks. I didn't know that, but with the kids being critical and life flighted out of the area to bigger hospitals they might need some help.

I remember those days. It was great. You went to the doctor when you were sick. He made you better. You paid him. I can count on less than 2 hands the number of times I've been to a doctor in my lifetime, other than for a pregnancy. I'll be 55 this year.

If you find out if they will accept donations to defray expenses and where to send it, please let me know via FR mail.

Or start a thread with that info as I am sure there are many here who would give.
