Vehicle stolen from family of 8-year-old cancer patient on way to treatment - WTHR
A family passing through Indiana on their way to get treatment for their daughter's cancer lost everything. The Griffin family of Pennsylvania was on their way to California for a cancer treatment for their 8-year-old girl, Nevaeh, when they pulled off of I-70 in Plainfield to stay the night at the Baymont Inn just after 11:00 Thursday night. When they woke up Friday morning and prepared to take off, they found that someone had stolen their vehicle, which had personal and prized items inside, including a hard drive containing irreplaceable memories. Griffin stated that every single picture that she had of her daughter was on that hard drive, so she has zero pictures of her daughter, who is fighting bone cancer," said Sgt. Investigators tell Eyewitness News that sometime late Thursday night into about 9:00 Friday morning, someone took off with the Ford F-250 pickup truck. While the family waits to hear what happened to their vehicle and the items inside, time is ticking to get to California to get treatment for their daughter. "I have been in contact with the mother almost all day [Saturday] and I have a 9-year-old and an 11-year-old girl, and to see the pictures of her and with her being 8, it just kind of brings this a little closer to home. We had an 88-year-old lady from Clairmont [Saturday] morning call in and donate $700. Somebody from Colorado reached out wanting to make a donation. Source: www.wthr.com
