Chara Richterberg, another resident who decorated, described the reasoning to KATC. When something like this happens, she said, people ask what they can do and usually conclude there is nothing. Decorating was different: a couple of hours of work that did something real for the family.
She also hoped the attention would send people to the GoFundMe set up for the Begnauds' medical expenses. If the lights brought Lane a smile or brought the family donations, she said, the effort was worth it.
