WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) â People have donated about $300,000 so far for a Wisconsin family of eight children who lost their father when a deer struck his van. By Tuesday morning, more than 3,700 people had contributed to the Rogan family’s fundraising site. Michael Rogan was driving his pregnant wife, Niki, and the children to the hospital for the birth of their eighth child last Friday when a deer struck their van windshield on a rural highway in Marathon County. The 42-year-old man was killed. His wife and the children, ages 2 to 15, suffered minor injuries. Niki Rogan gave birth to a healthy boy just hours after her husband died. Relatives and friends say the contributions will allow Niki Rogan to continue to home-school her children.
