An online fundraiser has been launched to raise money to help pay for the medical bills of a migrant child who was struck by a bus in Queens last week while on his way home from school.
Eleven-year-old Jorge was returning home from the Growing Up Green charter school on May 17 when a southbound Q69 bus struck the 7th grader on 21st Street and 39th Avenue in Long Island City at around 3:40 p.m. According to police sources, he suffered two broken ankles and head trauma.
