Strangers help after Cary boy in wheelchair robbed

Online donors have rallied to help a 12-year-old Cary boy after a man stole of jar of money the boy had collected for his wheelchair basketball team.

His family set up a website for people to donate to cover the cost of a demonstration by his wheelchair basketball team. By Monday morning, more than 450 people had donated nearly $18,000 – far exceeding the goal of $1,000.
