Coming together to help a grieving family. The Charlotte community is banding together to help a local family recover and heal after a loved one was killed in her home.
Community members Tuesday night came to Mcdonalds and 20 percent of money from purchases goes right to the Hansen family who suffered an unbelievable loss after Emily Hansen’s death last week.
"I'm going to miss her smile and hugs the most," Family Friend Keisha Howe said.
Family friend Keisha Howe tells me that while it's a difficult time for everyone, it's important to come to together.
"Beyond thankful for everybody, for a family that puts their heart and soul into helping others, couldn't ask for a better community," Family Friend Keisha Howe said
