Help Two Locals Recover From Injuries Sustained in the Boston Marathon Bombings

Help two Merrimack Valley locals recover from injuries sustained in the blasts at the Boston Marathon on April 15 through a Go Fund Me page set up by a friend, Alyssa Carter.

Celeste and Sydney were badly injured in the blasts at the Boston Marathon.

Sydney suffered severe injuries as a result of being hit with shrapnel and Celeste has lost both her legs below her knees.

"There is a long road ahead - both physically and emotionally - and we're hoping to relieve some of the financial burden by raising funds in their name," Carter wrote on the fundraisers webpage. 

The goal of the fundraiser is $1,000,000 and through donations as recent as two days ago, the fundraiser has currently raised $784,133.
