Community Rallies to Help Family of Injured Child

Arrangements have been made to accommodate the outpouring of support for the family of the child seriously injured Wednesday night in Palm Harbor. Ireland Nugent lost both her feet at the ankle in a tragic accident involving a lawnmower.

Since the accident, many area residents and Pinellas County employees have asked how they can help the family during this stressful and emotional time. The Pinellas Federal Credit Union has established a special fund in Ireland Nugent’s name and will post details on their website at www.pinellasfcu.org by the end of the day. Individuals can also obtain information by calling (727) 586-4422 during regular business hours.

Many in the community have already rallied to provide support to the family in various ways. The fund set up by the Pinellas Federal Credit Union will provide a way for contributions to be applied where they’re needed most by the family.
