800-plus hungry to help

Supporters kept coming, even after the chicken sold out

In addition to the barbecue, a dance was held Saturday night at the Warrior Run Fire Department’s social hall in Allenwood, with all proceeds going toward the Hawley family.

Money raised will most likely help the Hawleys purchase a handicapped-accessible van.

Her husband is anxious to come home, Mrs. Hawley says.

“He’s doing good,” she said. “He’s got his sense of humor, spirits are high, therapy is going great.”
