DEER LODGE — In the middle of the day on a Friday in January, a drunk driver smashed into a little historic building that was home to a daycare located in downtown Deer Lodge.

Now the owner of that daycare is trying to recoup funds that were lost over the last nine months with a crowdfunding effort.

"Froebel is the one that created kindergarten as a garden of flowers, and so, this is my wild flowers, so yeah...." says Lisa Langley, the owner of Wild Flowers Early Learning Center.

Langley has been working in childcare for over a decade. She opened a daycare in Oregon before moving home to Deer Lodge to open her daycare facility.

"We are in a day care desert, and I’m from this community. I just really wanted to move here and provide what I felt was important to the community."
