Hammer Victim Struggles To Survive

Earlier today, Larry Cragun was sentenced to life in prison for his murderous attack on a Bayview family. Meanwhile, Yvonne Wallis still struggles to survive with her serious head injuries and meager pension. Herb Huseland/Bay Views brings us up to date on Yvonne: "Totally disabled, she lives on a meager income from Social Security Disability. Idaho has no provision for helping her as a crime victim other than to pay mileage to and from treatment. ... Still in good cheer, she recently joined the Real Life Church and has chosen a spiritual path for the future. Donations are still very much needed. She has been able to make it through the winter with increased power bills, but that money is fast running out." Donations can be made to: Yvonne Wallis, c/o Herb Huseland, PO Box 884, Bayview, ID 83803. More here.
