LANCASTER, Pa. — A fundraiser concert at Tellus360 exceeds expectations and raises nearly three times its goal for a Coatesville man.

Jeremiah Wilson, 33, fell asleep at the wheel in June 2020, causing an accident. 

In the crash, Wilson suffered a spinal cord injury, an incomplete break at the C4 vertebrae, and is now considered quadriplegic.

As of 10 p.m. Sunday, more than $14,000 was raised, nearly three times the goal of $5,000.

The fundraiser is not over though. A silent auction continues through April 25.

Any money raised is going towards a wheelchair accessible van and any out of pocket medical costs.
