KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) A new fundraising campaign in Kalamazoo is looking to raise awareness of seat belt safety, while also raising funds for books at Bronson’s Children’s Hospital.
EMT Andrea Grube and Paramedic Jess Knapp started the fundraiser after responding to a crash where a child was ejected from a car. That child was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
“This particular call affected both of us. We’re both moms and it’s definitely hard to see kids hurt, especially when it could be prevented.” – EMT Andrea Grube
