Help floods for hit-and-run

Residents filled Elgin Memorial Park last Friday to help a young girl recovering from injuries.

More than $8,000 has been raised to help with medical costs for Marleigh Jackson, a NeidigElementary School student reportedly involved in a hit-and-run accident March 12. A hamburger fundraiser and GoFundMe fundraiser were established to help Jackson and her family.

According to friends of the family, Jackson was taking a walk with her grandparents before the incident occurred. She was taken Dell Children’s Medical Center and placed in the intensive care unit.
