Hundreds of people visited the Woolwine Elementary School on Saturday for a benefit to support Lauren Worley and Micah Underwood, who suffered severe injuries in a car crash in December.
Attendees enjoyed music, food and fellowship and took part in raffles and a bake sale. All funds raised at the event will help support the Worley and Underwood families. Among those performing was the Patrick County High School Praise and Worship Team, made up of classmates of Lauren Worley. They opened their performance with a prayer of thanks for Lauren’s recovery.
In a video posted to his social media, Lauren Worley’s father, Chris, addressed those in attendance. “We know how blessed we are. She’s here, and she shouldn’t be. She’s got a long way to go, but she’s come a long way.
“For everybody to come here and support her like this, it’s unbelievable,” said Worley. “We’re just extremely grateful and blessed to live in a community like this.”
