Celebrity Helps Girl Injured in Prom Night Accident

Here's a 'ying and yang' of life story.

Jessica Biel and unidentified donors raised a terrific sum of money for an injured teen who had been injured on prom night.

We all know the dangers of prom night partying and the number of accidents that happen each year. The saddest thing to me is that this young lady was doing the right thing -- she and her friends had rented a limo so that no one would drive drunk.

Sometimes doing the right thing doesn't ensure the right result.

I'm grateful to people like Jessica Biel and her donors who use their resources to help people with genuine need.
