(WMOK) Metropolis, IL – Metropolis Police Chief Harry Masse invites the community to join us for a spaghetti benefit dinner on Saturday, September 9, 2023, at 4 PM, located at 111 E. 3rd St. in Metropolis to support Anistyn Goins. Anistyn is the daughter of Natalie (Davis) Goins and Jerron Goins.

Anistyn’s journey began on July 24th when Natalie noticed decreased fetal movement and was rushed to labor and delivery. Due to complications, she was flown to Vanderbilt University Hospital for specialized care. At just 23 weeks and 6 days gestation, Anistyn was born weighing 1lb 1oz and measuring 11 3/4 inches. While she is currently stable, Anistyn has a challenging road ahead.

Your participation in this benefit dinner will help alleviate the financial burden on Natalie and Jerron as they navigate Anistyn’s medical journey.
