Franklin Community Rallies for Injured Teens with Fundraiser and Ongoing Meal Train
The tight-knit community of Franklin is banding together in a show of solidarity and support for two young men, Damont Leggs and Mason Davis, who were victims of a motor vehicle accident in Simpson County earlier this month.
Coming together in a collective response to the tragic incident that unfolded on April 5, residents of Franklin have organized an upcoming fundraising event at a popular local spot, El Potrero Cantina and Grill. This event is scheduled for Friday, April 26, from 5 p.m. until closing time.
For community members unable to attend the fundraiser in person, the organizers have facilitated digital donation options. Contributions can be made via the teens’ fathers’ Cash App accounts. Damont’s father’s account goes by $MoneyMan110789 and Mason’s father’s username is $mwdavis145.
Meal Train to Offer Additional Support
Alongside this upcoming fundraiser, the Franklin community has also established an ongoing meal train for Damont Leggs’ family. The family, who is juggling daily hospital visits and caring for three other children at home, will benefit from the meal train’s purpose of easing their workload during this challenging time.
As a testament to the strength of community bonds in times of crisis, these initiatives underline the deep-rooted connections and resilience of the Franklin community. Above all, they demonstrate the power of community action in supporting those in need.
Raising Support in Tough Times
The upcoming fundraiser at El Potrero Cantina and Grill and the ongoing meal train show the Franklin community’s will to rally together in support of their fellow neighbors. The event on April 26 is expected to see many locals come together, not only to raise funds but to offer emotional support and show solidarity with Damont and Mason’s families. Local businesses are also expected to participate, either through direct donations or by offering goods and services for a raffle.
Further details about the event, including more about the reigning local spirit and any additional ways the community could help, will be released in the coming days.
More to Come
While this organized support for the two injured teens is immensely heartening, the Franklin community is still far from meeting its goals. It encourages the broader community to reach out in whatever way they can, to help support these two families in their time of need. No act of generosity is too minor, and every contribution, whether it’s donating to the Cash Apps, participating in the meal train, or attending the fundraiser, makes a substantial difference.
The April 26 event, along with the ongoing meal train, symbolizes the heartfelt and sincere efforts of Franklin’s community to lift the burden off the shoulders of two families in distress, proving that in times of adversity, unity prevails.
