ALTON - Wanda Chancellor is organizing a fundraiser to raise money for a wheelchair-accessible van for 3-year-old Rhea Chancellor of Alton, who was left paralyzed from the neck down after a sudden and severe illness on Nov. 26, 2022. Rhea spent one month in the intensive care unit fighting for her life, followed by two months at Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital, beginning her rehabilitation. Since then, she has undergone three major surgeries, including a nerve transfer, emergency toe surgery, and brain surgery. She is also preparing for double hand surgery in Philadelphia later this month. Despite these challenges, Rhea has shown remarkable strength and resilience.

ST. LOUIS — In September, the American Red Cross reminds people that giving blood now helps support patients the moment they need medical care. Donors of all types, especially those with types O positive and B negative blood, are asked to make an appointment to give. National Preparedness Month is underway – a time to remember lifesaving blood products are an essential part of preparedness for every type of disaster, whether it be home fires or natural disasters, such as hurricanes, flooding and wildfires.
