A fund has been set up at the cottonwood Wells Fargo Bank as the Hakim and Heather FUnd to assist in medical expenses for Hakim Amin’s 9 year old twins who were severely injured. At home now, the children are recovering at home in the care of their mother, Heather Hakola. All donations will be greatly appreciated.
