Wish on a STAR is hosting a benefit for Tom Smith, also of Van Horne. Two days after starting college at Iowa State University, Tom collapsed with difficulty breathing.
Test results confirmed Tom has lymphoma. Tom’s prognosis includes 36 months of chemo, radiation, and repeated spinal taps. Tom and his mother, Janet, have a long road ahead of them and a lot of expenses. Tom graduated from Benton Community this past May with honors, and he was planning to study software engineering. Wish on a STAR invites the public to attend a benefit in Tom’s honor on Sunday, November 9, 2014, from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at the Van Horne Community Center (next to the first responders station). A light meal, silent auction, face painting, and a raffle are just some of things happening. |
