Oregon Girl Hosted Carwash Fundraiser For Her Dad’s Operation
Summer Bell, a little girl from Creswell, Oregon recently took upon herself to raise money for her dad’s operation. Doug Bell, Summer’s dad has been suffering from various health issues since his early childhood.
He has been struggling with diabetes for many years and in the year 2017 even his kidneys failed. Recently, he was suffering from a serious infection and was hospitalized. The infection was so severe that he had to lose the bottom portion of his leg. Since then he has not been able to walk on his own.
To be successfully walking back again Doug needs a robotic prosthesis. The cost of the prosthetic leg is not cheap and ranges around $5000-$15000 or even more in some rare circumstances. The cost is very high and not everyone can afford to get it. Similarly, The Bell family is facing financial constraints.
Summer’s mom, Echo is a mother of five other children and has to work two jobs to make the ends meet. Summer being the enterprising little lady she is decided to contribute for her father’s operation by organizing a car wash fundraiser in her hometown. Point S Tire & Auto service are hosting the event.

Echo was so overwhelmed by her daughter’s kind gesture that she posted a photo of her daughter Summer with her handmade sign on Facebook. She expressed her emotions through the post’s caption. She wrote: ‘My sweet Summer is amazing she is working very hard on her fundraiser. She made this poster and talked to Point S tire. They are letting her do a car wash fundraiser on the 18th from 10-5. I’m so proud of her. She’s such a caring little human. She also picked some pictures to make a collage. How did we get so lucky?’
The handmade sign Summer made read: ‘My name is Summer. My daddy needs a robot leg. My mommy is working to much. So, she can buy my daddy a leg. So, I am doing a car wash fundraiser at point S tire. I need to raise money to buy my daddy a new leg so he can work.’
In addition to this, Summer and her mom have set up a GoFundMe page to Help Doug walk again. We hope Summer raises the required money as soon as possible and Doug is back on his feet again. Get well soon Doug.
