Sonora auctioneer David L. Knight is not lacking for friends.

An outpouring of support for Knight, who suffered a series of debilitating strokes in September, reaped $20,000 over the weekend during a fundraiser held at Upton Community Center. Paralyzed from the neck down, Knight has been in medical care since suffering the strokes.

And that could take at least three months, according to Director Celia McDonald.
