Previously, local students at South Orange Middle School and Jefferson School have held fundraisers to help Kohl's family with expenses.

You can also help defray the family's expenses by visiting the HK C.A.R.E.S program of the HK Community Fund. HK has set up an online donation site at: www.hkcommunityfund.org. However, if you go onto HK's site, you need to specify at the end of your contribituion that "this is for Kohl Angelo" in order for the money to get to the Angelo family.

Finally, keep up with Kohl's story on Caring Bridge:
