HARFORD COUNTY, Md. — After a tragic motorcycle crash left Kevin Peters hospitalized with serious injuries, the Harford County community is stepping up to help.
Local coffee shop 'The Screaming Bean' held a fundraiser today — donating 100 percent of the day's proceeds to Kevin and his family.
The response was overwhelming, with lines out the door and over $4,000 raised before noon.
"It's really cool to just see people supporting people… the community can come together to support somebody most of us might not even know. It just shows the heart is still there and we can care for each other," said Blum.
Arianna Blum, manager of The Screaming Bean, expressed her amazement at the community's generosity.
The cafe even pitched in an extra $1,000 to support the cause.
Kevin's family also has a GoFundMe, and donations are still being accepted.
While Kevin is now breathing and talking on his own, he still has a long road to recovery ahead.
