Kohl Angelo, a sixth grader at Maplewood Middle School, and a Jefferson School alum, has been diagnosed with a rare brain tumor — D. I. P. G. or Diffuse Intrinsic Pons Glioma. He will be at St. Jude's in Memphis undergoing treatment until mid-January. His mom, Kelly, is there with him while he participates in a clinical trial.

To defray the family's expenses, the HK C.A.R.E.S program of the HK Community Fund has set up an online donation site at: www.hkcommunityfund.org

Said Tom Kerns of the HK Community Fund, "We understand that times are tough and even giving a small donation can be a challenge. However, please consider making whatever donation you can afford to help one of our neighbors."
