RENO, Nev. - Even though Lizzy Hammond was only nine, her soul had generations of love.She had just finished the third grade and was already an established volunteer in her community.
From a very young age, the Reno, Nevada, child was helping with local food banks, supporting the homeless and numerous charities within her Catholic parish.
Simply put, Lizzy was gregarious."She loved everybody, talked to everybody and wasn’t afraid of anybody. She was very outgoing," her father, Mitch Hammond, reminisces.
But what happened to Lizzy on July 14, 2019, was not a freak accident. She died from blunt force trauma to the head when the bounce house she was playing in at a friend’s birthday party took flight in a gust of wind into power lines."For people to say it's a freak accident, it really isn't.
