Employees from the hospital in Abilene are helping a family rebuild their lives following a fire.

According to the hospital, employees of Memorial Health System wore blue jeans at work, in September, for a “Jeans Day” fundraiser. Employees who made a donation of at least $5 were allowed to wear blue jeans on Fridays in September.

A total donation of $876 was raised for the Ohl family. The family lost a daughter and all belongings due to a house fire in July of this year.
