SMYRNA, Tenn. (WTVF) — We have a good news update about the Smyrna woman down on her luck.

Crash survivor in Smyrna needs help rebuilding her life

Rebekah Crager and her husband Richard have endured a series of health problems in recent years and were struggling to get around their non-accessible house and handle everything so far from family.

Since we ran her story, several contractors have reached out to help and folks have chipped in around $9,000 to a GoFundMe.

Rebekah has found a home in Delaware near family and more support and despite the kind offers, she and her realtor have decided to leave the Smyrna home as is.

They're hosting an open house on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 209 Pebble Place, Smyrna, TN.

She does need to sell it for a certain amount to pull off the move and needs quite a bit to help pay off her accessible van. But says she's really looking forward to a fresh start.

Students help relaunch donation drive for Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt

Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital. Austin Pollack shares the story of students in a Nashville family who have helped re-launch the Red Wagon project to collect games for patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
