The Web site is: www.westtennesseecares.com. Mayci is the daughter of Richard and Kristi (Roberson) Hogg. Her grandparents are David and Donna Roberson and Lois Hogg and the late Ed Hogg, all of Samburg. Since Mayci’s treatment began Monday, her mother has been posting photos, video and journal entries on the Web site. The site also allows visitors to sign a guest book and leave messages of encouragement for the family, as well as make donations through PayPal in order to help with medical expenses. An account has also been established to help with Mayci’s medical expenses. Donations may be mailed to the Mayci Shea Hogg Fund, c/o Commercial Bank & Trust Co., P.O. Box 370, Union City, TN 38281.
