Claire Anderson’s family are praying and asking for support

Benefit Dinner to be held Saturday, December 7^th in Galeton

Dinner to be held at the Raymond Richar VFW, 221 Germania St. Galeton, PA 16922

From the Family and Friends of Claire. 

We’d like to invite all the kind people who have been praying for Claire since September 1, 2024 when she was found unresponsive.  Ten year old Claire was life flighted to Geisinger Medical, then another flight to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where she is slowly but steadily recovering.  Her parents Corey & Courtney Anderson of Galeton, PA (formerly Coudersport, PA) have been at Claire’s side and have devoted the majority of their time to remain with Claire.  With high hopes that this fundraiser will continue to allow them to remain in Philadelphia CHOP for the foreseeable future during the extensive physical therapies Claire is receiving throughout her recovery. 

For a $10.00 donation, you will have your choice of home-made soups, salad, rolls, cookies and drinks.  Many Ticket raffle items have been donated as well as some large ticket ($5.) items, including a 65” Flatscreen TV (donated by Swan’s Garage), Handmade wooden Harley Davidson Flag Artwork (donated by Scott Bice, in memory of his daughter Rachael), (2) one-half pig (winner pays for processing and packaging), 14” Chromebook Laptop, donated by The New Plaza Café, (Rick & Amy Smith) Pizza Every week for a year (donated by Murphy’s Pizza),  Ruger Gun 10/22 (donated by Generations Hunting Club), 16” Harley Davidson STAYC E-Bike (donated by Larry’s Sport Center)-with more items being donated every day!

Corey and Courtney would like to Thank Each and Every Person or Business who continues to help them through this challenging time…the ongoing Fundraisers and Prayers have helped them and Claire so much!  They would be so gracious if everyone would join together and Pray for Claire’s vision to return, she is recovering well in all other areas-but this is their primary concern at this point.  Claire loves to have her Mom read cards to her- if you would like to send one to her, the address is
