IT DIDN’T LOOK GOOD for 13-year-old Timmy Lane.
On Thursday evening, August 26, he was up on the roof
of the family home in Clearwater, Florida. As a tree
climber, his roof exploration wasn’t exactly a hazardous
adventure, at least until he either jumped or fell. Either
way he didn’t see the three-foot upright metal stake used
to tie up Schultz, the family dog, until he was impaled on
it. Schult knew his buddy was in trouble and he began to
bark furiously. This brought Timmy’s mother who found
her gravely injured son. She summoned Joey, his
15-year-old brother, and telephoned the Clearwater
paramedics.
When Timmy arrived at the emergency ward of the
Community Hospital, the doctors there were faced with
two very serious problems -- the critical nature of
Timmy’s injuries and the extreme shortage of his blood
type, O-Negative. An immediate appeal was sent out by
the Clearwater police dispatchers for blood and relayed by
the local radio, CB and TV stations. The response was
wonderfully immediate. Nearly 300 donors swarmed into
the hospital, coming from everywhere to answer the call.
In all, they gave 100 units and Timmy required 35 to stay
alive throughout the long operation. Those who donated
stayed on, too, rooting for the youngster, giving their
moral and spiritual support to the parents, Bill and Ann
Lane. Most of them had never heard of Timmy before,
only that the need was urgent and that a boy was close to
dying.
Adversity was no stranger to the Lanes. They had lost a
19-year-old son who, as a Marine, had fallen from an
airport hangar roof. Times had not been good for
Timmy’s father, a mason by trade, and, as the donors
milled around the hospital corridor, he prayed for his
son’s life and acknowledged the spontaneous aid and
support of so many strangers saying, “Yes, it’s wonder-
ful. It’s wonderful.”
It was and it is. Timmy’s mother called the successful
operation “a miracle.” The doctor’s did not disagree.
Timmy awoke asking for a Coca-Cola. “The Lord reached
down and touched him,” said Ann Lane, “and touched
the hearts of so many people who have helped him.”
That help hasn’t let up, and it’s been needed more than
ever. Timmy has undergone two more major operations.
A month after the accident, it was still touch and go, but
throughout the Lane’s ordeal and Timmy’s fight for life,
literally hundreds of people have volunteered their time,
talents, prayers and money, to aid the family.
A Timmy Lane Day was organized, followed by a Timmy
Lane Benefit Show featuring a host of performers,
including Wladislaw Cedzich, the noted Polish concert
pianist, who came out of retirement to volunteer his
services. In addition, several trust funds for Timmy have
been set up in local banks and Timmy’s 1,200 school-
mates at Oak Grove Middle School raised $4,800 . All the
area service clubs also have contributed in this total effort
to help a family in need and to encourage a small boy to
win his fight for life.
“It’s not just our prayers,” said Timmy’s mother, “this
is a community thing. It’s just love. Everywhere you look
it’s just more love. I haven’t seen anything like it.”
Or, as Herbert Hayes, an involved citizen, put it: "The
community’s response to blood requests and financial
assistance has been truly remarkable. Seldom is such
spirit exhibited. I don’t know if it’s love, prayer,
sympathy or what, but clearly something dymanic
happened here.”
Timmy Lane, a 13-year-old adventurer, needed help
badly and he got it.
