lock-based nonprofit is operated
by six volunteers, including McK-
enzie, who began grant writing for
GFSC as part of her internship
while attending The Evergreen
State College.
"I loved the work they did and
wanted to be part of it, so I stayed
with them after completing my
course," she said.
McKenzie also had a dream -- to
open a center where special needs
children and their families could
get together and help one another.
She still has hopes of doing this,
and the accident has given her fur-
ther resolve to make it happen.
'Tou take the pain that life
gives you, and you give back love,"
she said.
Since the accident, there has
been an outpouring of compassion
from the community to help recov-
er the charity's loss. An employee
from Denny's Automotive in Shel-
ton has set up a Facebook page to
sell more raffle tickets and collect
donations to recover prizes. Raf-
fle tickets can also be purchased
from Melanie Eacrett by calling
