Injured Student Could Use a Little Help

Walking with her mother from their temporary home at a downtown shelter, Beverly Camacho, a 2nd grader at McKinley Elementary School, was badly hurt when a car struck them in a crosswalk on Santa Barbara Street. Since the accident in late October, which occurred right outside the school-district offices on Ortega Street, Beverly has endured numerous surgeries at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and the UCLA Medical Center; her full recovery is months away.
