CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- As the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure. But the friends of B.J. Berkhouse say he is a treasure. That is why they hosted a rummage sale to get his medical bills paid. He has no insurance.

Berkhouse was hit by a car back in June, and two months later, he is still in the hospital. He was walking on Capitol Street when it happened.

"B. J. Berkhouse is the life of the party," Shelley Kelley, one of B.J.'s friends, said. "He's one of those guys that you just love to be around, and we're all just hoping that he's gonna get better."

The rummage sale even brought out strangers to help. Sarah Stover was one of them. "He's about my age, and it could happen to anybody," Sarah said. "You never know when that's gonna happen to you, and I'd just hope that they'd do something like this for me."
