KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – A GoFundMe donation campaign has been launched for two Otsego boys who were injured in a snowmobile crash late last month.
WWMT reported on Monday that a large crowd had gathered outside Bronson Methodist Hospital in Downtown Kalamazoo in a vigil to show support for Jurian and Jaden Shaffer.
Both boys suffered multiple injuries including broken bones. They are now recovering in medical care.
According to the campaign, funds raised will be used to help pay for medical bills resulting from the incident. At the time of this reporting, almost $6,000 have been raised out of a $15,000 goal.
