Injured Girl Sells Pony Then Gets Him Back Again
An 11 year old Hugo girl Linda Dean Melvin sold her pony Jacob to help pay hospital bills after a gunshot injury. The pony was bought back by grateful buyers who funded multiple resales, with Grady Holton initiating a reauction and the group donating further. Linda faces possible lifelong mobility loss despite therapy. A separate drive led by Lynn Campbell raised 1182 dollars for Linda’s medical costs.
