I just spoke to Penn State Hospital and was informed someone is already working to have something setup by morning for donations through a bank.

I just spoke to someone at the information desk there (717-531-8080) She told me that, "the Amish don't participate in things like that and doubted that a fund would be set up"

I called 717-531-8606 the media line?

Gray, my friend, I think the person you spoke with was misinformed. I know for a fact that funds have been set up in the past to help defray medical costs for a member or members of the Amish community.

I know it was done in Dover a few years ago when a drunk driver hit an Amish buggy and fled the scene, leaving 3 teenagers with injuries to fend for themselves. One of those young men is now wheelchair bound and the bills were astronomical. I know I contributed to that fund.

That is not true. This would be, like other things that fall into Amish life, the will of God.

Thank you, Graybeard58. That sounds true to form to me. I wonder why someone would come on this thread and pretend otherwise.

In spite of good intentions, we don't always have to "do something."
