Kinzie Real Estate Renovating Home for Woman Paralyzed in Bus Shelter Collapse

Kinzie Real Estate is coming to the aid of a woman injured during a freak accident in August. Tierney Darden, 24, of Mundelein (pictured) was returning from a family trip to Minneapolis and sought shelter from a fierce storm at a bus shelter at O'Hare International Airport. The shelter collapsed on top of Tierney, who was paralyzed from the waist down.

Tierney underwent surgery to repair dislocated vertebrae, but her family believes the aspiring dancer will be paralyzed for life and filed a lawsuit against the city and the Chicago Department of Aviation. A GoFundMe page has raised over $20k for Tierney's rehabilitation efforts.
