The mother of a 13-year-old boy who died from his injuries after an SUV hit him last Wednesday is grieving the loss of her son.

V for Victory held a donation drive Sunday at one of its sites on Hendricks Avenue with hopes of recouping what it lost. One woman explained how this situation hits home for her.

V for Victory hopes to recoup the loss of nearly $50,000 worth of Lego sets that were stolen from V Pizza in late December through donations from the community.

Legos are the building blocks for STEM education. At least, that’s the case at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

A visually impaired boy who was once able to foster his love for Legos while a family friend wrote out instructions for him in Braille is now working with the company to develop audio building guides. That boy, Matthew Shifrin, was born blind. She learned Braille to engage with me and support my Lego passion and then spent countless hours translating Lego instructions into Braille, Shifrin said. Lego building is one of the things we can do.The project Shifrin is working on is currently in a pilot phase. Instructions are available online, either in Braille or from an audio reader recorder or screen reader.
