Donations for Hawthorne soldier's family total $5,400
I just got word that some good folks donated $5,400 to benefit the children and family members of fallen soldier Sgt. Eduviges Wolf, who grew up in Hawthorne.
The money raised helps to pay for the airline tickets for family members to attend her services in South Dakota. Money also will go to her young children.
Hawthorne police established a fund in Wolf's memory after her sister told the Daily Breeze that her family had maximized their limits on their credit cards to pay for their trip to the funeral.
Wolf, who was a Hawthorne police Explorer while attending Leuzinger High School, was killed Oct. 25 in Afghanistan.
Donations came primarily from South Bay residents, and some from out of state..
