The story of the 13 children who deputies say were discovered being held prisoner in a Perris, Calif., home has shocked the world. But there’s a way to help the Turpin children. Two ways, in fact.
The Riverside University Health System Foundation has set up a fund to support the children, the foundation announced on Thursday.
The foundation’s fund is on top of the Corona Chamber of Commerce’s efforts to collect donations for the children of Louise Anna Turpin, 49, and her husband, David Allen Turpin, 57, who were charged last week in the case.
“Somebody has to step forward,” said Bobby Spiegel, president and CEO of the Corona Chamber of Commerce. “We’re doing what we need to do.”
The six minor Turpin children are being treated at Riverside University Health System Medical Center in Moreno Valley. The seven adult children are being treated at Corona Regional Medical Center. Both hospitals are members of the Corona Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber of commerce has been overwhelmed with the volume of donations from around the world, even bringing in extra staff to help deal with it.
