Harry Bradford, Huffington Post
On April 20, 2013 an article was posted by Harry Bradford recognizing Jeff Bauman's accomplishments. Jeff Bauman was a participant of the Boston Marathon who lost both his legs due to the bombing. Thanks to his cooperation with the federal government, the suspects were identified and have been neutralized. People consider him a national hero and wish to return the favor. About 10,000 people have donated to Bucks for Bauman to help him pay for the devastating medical expenses caused by the amputation of both his legs. Approximately $360,000 have been raised so far.His coworkers at Costco have tried to help but there is only so much they could do. According to NBC News, the injuries of all fourteen victims are expected to exceed 9 million dollars. This includes the estimated amount of days victims would stay in intensive care and prosthetic limbs which cost about $50,000 each. One Fund Boston, a charity set up by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino, has already raised more than $7 million. The costs of health have risen drastically and that is evident as victims strive to receive care due to an act of hatred out of their control.
