HOW TO HELP

Since Scout’s accident, the Beams have had to adjust to becoming a single-income family, while also adapting to additional therapy and skilled help costs. If you’d like to financially support the Beams, visit Scout’s profile on the online fundraising site at www.youcaring.com/lovedgirl.

Scout Beam flips through the scrapbooks on her kitchen counter, scanning page after page filled with photos of friends and family.

The 17-year-old turns to a page where a photo of one of her high school friends smiles up at her.

“Did I not remember her?” she asks her parents. “Hmm. That is weird.”

She keeps flipping the pages, then pulls one out.
