University students plan to collect donations Saturday at the Chinese Spring Festival Gala. A fund also has been set up at the Bank of America in Wichita.
The family of a Chinese exchange student who was critically injured while attending Emporia State University is seeking help to pay for her rehabilitation.
Twenty-three-year-old education student Yali Huang was flown to a Wichita hospital in November after being struck by a Jeep while walking across a street.
After coming out of a 10-week coma, she's ready to be moved to a rehabilitation facility. But her exchange student insurance doesn't cover that type of care, and she's not ready to travel to a facility closer to her home - Shenzhen, a city in southern China.

Where is her family? I would think they would be here with her. This is sad but insurance from the auto that hit her should cover expenses.

They interviewed her family on KWCH TV while she was being treated at Wesley Medical Center. It was a very sad sight. Over one million has been spent on treatment already. She is in pitiful shape and unable to make the long trip back to China. Your party's immediate obstructionism as Obama entered the White House is becoming very ugly and unpopular.
