Friends and classmates of Belino served breakfast at the Ephrata Pita Pit on Oct. 23 for a fundraiser to help relieve the financial burden for Belino and his family.
A Blood Drive by the American Red Cross in Ephrata on Oct. 19 opened up walk-ons for people to donate on behalf of Belino.
$7,350 was raised for the Belino family between the fundraiser breakfast and bake sale at Pita Pit.
By opening up walk-ins, approximately 30 extra units of blood were collected.
Ariel Belino, Ben’s father, said the family is overwhelmed by the support they have received from the community.
