Prayer Vigil Set for Green Island Boy















By Randy Koniowka

A Prayer Vigil will be held this Sunday from 6:30-9pm at the Riverfront Park in Green Island. The vigil is in response to six year old Daniel Dingley, who was seriously injured when fire ripped through his Green Island Home.

Upon arrival, firefighters encountered Dingley's frantic father who informed them that his son was still inside. Firefighters managed to push through the thick smoke and plucked Daniel from his burning home.

Dingley was taken to Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse. According to a family spokesperson, he underwent the first of many skin grafts today, and is resting comfortably.

A fundraiser is also being planned to help with the costs associated with a long hospital stay. That event will be held on May 1st starting at 4pm at the Knights of Columbus on Remsen Street in Cohoes. Tickets are 10 dollars at the door.

A Facebook page has been established where people can post prayers and well wishes to the family. It can be found at www.facebook.com . Search for Daniel Dingley Prayer Page.
