Random Acts of Kindness helps Dallin Harper fundraise
Cedar Rapids residents organize a name-your-price garage sale at 7005 West Park Rd NE to aid Dallin Harper, 4, who has pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified and multiple health issues. Amber Heaton, 13, leads the fundraiser with family support from the Mormon community and local clergy. Proceeds will help cover mounting medical costs as Dallin’s family, aided by Primer and church connections, awaits insurance relief.
