(The following is a transcription of the full broadcast story)
On Tuesday, Sunnyside Cafe in Williamston hosted their monthly Soup Together fundraiser, to support 6-year old Layne Caswell.
Back in December, we told you about Layne's health challenges. He was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma cancer.
Jeanette Ellsworth, owner of Sunnyside Cafe put this fundraiser together with the help of her crew, serving soup to bring the community together to support the Caswell family. Every effort from organizing, to cooking and serving, was volunteer.
"And it's the food, the fellowship, it's all coming together to just grow that village, because even if we can't financially do it, we can be there for each other," Ellsworth said.
Ellsworth tells me this is the last Soup Together fundraiser for this season, but they'll be having fundraisers throughout the year, and will be beginning these again back up in September.
If you would like to help the Caswell family, the link to the GoFundMe is below.
