LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) -- A 770-pound woman who had to be extracted from her apartment for medical care will be getting a new home, thanks to an anonymous donor.

Because of Yvonne Gallimore's size, medical crews tore through a wall of her Section 8 apartment May 19 to transport her to an area hospital to be treated for lymphedema, a condition that prevents bodily fluid from draining. Gallimore's apartment wasn't livable afterward.

An anonymous donor has agreed to work with Habitat for Humanity to come up with a plan for building Gallimore a new home.

A spokeswoman for Lakeland Habitat for Humanity says the mysterious donor is supposedly a relation of a wealthy Florida business family with millions of dollars behind their name.

Polk County, FL -- Polk County Fire Rescue officials are asking residents to participate in a voluntary burn ban.

“Dry vegetation and current weather conditions are favorable for the rapid development and spread of brush fires,” said Fire Chief David Cash.

Residents are asked to refrain from burning trash, yard debris, campfires and bonfires. If burning cannot be avoided, use extreme caution, have extinguishing mechanisms nearby and do not leave fires unattended. 

Lakeland’s Sleepy Hill Elementary hosted its 3rd Annual Science Family Night near the end of the 2010-2011 school year with approximately 350 students and families in attendance. 

The evening was jam-packed with science fun with hands-on science stations visited by attendees.  

Students and guests learned the science of roller coasters, air rocket launches, pink snow, airplanes and kites. 

The event included a robotics demonstration by Sleepy Hill Middle students,  a NASA guest speaker and an airplane from the Florida Air Museum.
