messaging us with more items. We ended up with over 30 items and the raffle alone generated around $9,000.” “We were blown away by the support for Jillian and Lane,” she said. “Once it was out there it just blew up to being something we weren’t quite ready for but rolled with it and ended up with close to $18,000 raised.” A message came from from Jillian Crabtree and her family: “It’s so hard to put into words what this means to us. We just feel so thankful. Thankful to be surrounded by so many wonderful people and a part of such a great community who really cares and is there to support one another. Lane was born here in Anderson, and we moved back to raise our own daughter here and to be closer to family. I never imagined how big that family would get. Thank you to everyone for your generosity! It is all because of you that we are able to focus on the most important thing of all, each other. Thank you.” This is Anderson, this is what makes our town amazing. n
