An outpouring of support for a Woodward family in need over the weekend. Stephanie and Aaron Sennert’s baby needs to be hooked up to an oxygen machine to survive. The family wasn't able to pay it's electric bill and Alliant Energy said it could soon be shut off. Since KCCI aired the family's story on Saturday, Iowans have stepped up to help. Dozens of viewers donated money to pay the family's bill. The family said they never expected the outpouring of support.
When Don Batt and his wife watched the news Saturday night, they saw Stephanie and Aaron Sennert's story. Medical bills and frequent trips to Mayo Clinic have depleted their savings. Four-month-old Paul, who has apnea, needs to be hooked up to an oxygen tank to help him breathe. The family said it was living in fear after Alliant Energy sent a notice to disconnect their power because they are behind on bills. That's why Batt hopped on his motorcycle and made the 20-mile trip from Boone to Woodward, so he could hand the family cash in person.
