“Pray for Aleigh, Pray for Gracen, Pray for Sophia,” signs are popping up in the Chapin area. These 3 Chapin High School students were in a traumatic wreck last week on a train crossing.

Sofia is home, but going through physical therapy. Gracen will soon come out of the hospital and also has some physical therapy. Aleigh is still in the hospital. An account has been set up at First Citizens for donations to help with incurred financial costs for the parents. Account info: AGS Aid Fund, PO Box 297 Ballentine, SC 29002.
