Home based businesses in the Killarney area held a fund raising event for a local family on Thursday.

 

Susan Lamont helped coordinate the sale and auction. She says proceeds are going to the Dennis andJacquie Kowal family.

 

Lamont says two of their three kids have Muscular Dystrophy.

 

She says that presents some unique challenges for their home life.

 


Lamont was pleased with the response from the community. She says they raised more than $5,000 for the Kowals.

 

A local service club plans to hold a benefit social for the family late next month.
