A donation account for Wilhelmina Tuten has been established at Heritage Bank, as well as collection containers placed around the city of Pembroke at Alco, Pembroke Pharmacy, Luann’s, Bedingfield’s, and Owen’s Supply.
Tuten, 72, was seriously injured in July - allegedly as a result of a beating by her son, Clinton Nesmith, over  beer money. He reportedly remains in Chatham County jail.
Donations are needed to help pay Tuten's medical expenses.
