There will be a silent art auction and fundraiser for Mariah Boehm, the 17-year-old who was struck by a car in Renton in May.
The teen continues to heal from the injuries incurred in the accident, including a severed spinal cord.
Boehm was walking in the 800 block of Duvall Street on May 29 when she was hit by a car. According to witnesses, a northbound driver in a maroon sedan drifted onto the right shoulder of the road where Boehm was walking and hit her. She suffered two broken legs, two broken shin bones, two broken vertebrae and internal bleeding. Doctors do not expect her to walk again.
Her family has had to deal with her medical expenses and changing their lifestyles to help her in her recovery.
Local artists, gamers and the surrounding community are coming together to help raise funds for the family as they try and move forward.
The event is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., July 5, at Krab Jab Studio, 5628 Airport Way S., Ste. 150, Seattle. There will be fantasy and local art, raffles and refreshments.
