BRADLEY COUNTY, Tenn. (WDEF) — Bradley County EMS is organizing a fundraiser for a family who recently faced a tragic loss.
The GoFundMe page requests financial assistance for the Miller family.
It explains that Kelly Miller, a mom of three, recently lost her life in a go kart accident.
In addition, her one-year-old baby was injured and lost three fingers, according to the GoFundMe.
According to the fundraiser, “Kelly did not have life insurance, and now her father, Richard Miller, along with the rest of the family, is facing immense financial strain. They are struggling to cover the mounting medical bills, funeral expenses, and the day-to-day costs of caring for Kelly’s three young children.”
As of Friday evening, they had raised over $7,000 out of their $30,000 goal.
“Richard Miller, Kelly’s father, has dedicated his life to serving others. With 15 years of service with Bradley County EMS, 4 years of service with the Rhea County Fire Department, and over 23 years of service with the Cleveland Fire Department in Cleveland, TN, Richard has always been there for his community. Now, in their darkest hour, the Miller family needs our help.”
The GoFundMe says all donations will go to Richard Miller to help cover funeral and medical costs.
It lauds Kelly and Richard’s generous spirits, explaining that Kelly was an organ donor.
“Kelly’s generous spirit continues to touch lives even in her passing. As an organ donor, she will help to save as many as 8 lives. Her legacy of kindness and giving is a beacon of hope amidst this profound sorrow.”
