A Westerville Family is in need of help paying their rent. Parents have been unable to work because while one parent is at the hospital taking care of their very sick child the other parent is staying home with their other two severely disabled children.  If you can donate anything to help them pay their $1200 rent that would be so helpful.  They also would benefit from Uber or Lyft gift cards to get to and from Nationwide Childrens Hospital everyday.
