Christmas Stocking Fund for December
7
It’s an unfortunate reality of
today’s times, but too often, the elderly must choose between money in
the budget for medicine or for basics such as food or keeping the lights
on.
That’s the kind of quandary faced by
Mr. M. a 60 year old man with disabilities from Christmas Stocking Fund
Case Number 12 this holiday season. Saddled with health problems that
require a costly brace for his hand, Mr. M. has an impossibly tall stack
of medical bills confronting him, and is behind on utility payments as
well.
Amidst the dilemma of too many medical
bills and too little money, Mr. M. has elected to ask to keep warm this
winter in the face of seemingly untouchable medical bills. Accordingly, he
says help with utility bills is most needed from the 2018 edition of the
Christmas Stocking Fund.
CSF volunteers traditionally give the
young and the elderly top priority for assistance including food,
utilities, medical and pharmacy bills, and clothing. Assistance other than
food is via vouchers payable to merchants, utilities, or medical
facilities cooperating with CSF. Food is boxed and delivered.
Donations to CSF may be made in-person
at First Bank Southwest at 300 North Main or mailed to CSF at the same
address. Contributions will be accepted through December 31. Contributors
may remain anonymous if desired.
KPAN Radio is marking its fifth season
this year as official sponsor of the Christmas Stocking Fund and is
highlighting cases daily at 8:40 a.m. and 4:40 p.m. during the December
CSF drive by listing donors. Updates also appear on Facebook and the KPAN
homepage at www.kpanradio.com and will be featured as space allows in the
KPAN Radiogram. Donor names and campaign totals also appear on local cable
channels 1 and 21, and are posted regularly on a display board in the
lobby of First Bank Southwest.
Current
Donation Total--$4,807

Welcome to an on-line visit to the Texas Panhandle, where the people are genuine, the ground meets the sky in an unbroken line and they call the wind Mariah.....Carey. Or on some days there are other names for the wind. Where cows outnumber people 10 to 1. Where malcontents and ne'er-do-wells are still allowed daily access to loaded sidearms and live microphones. Where you can still be home on the range. Where the land is flat and the deck is stacked and the ladies.....are angels. Where money talks and men are real men and the livestock are.....real nervous.

When the little radio station went on the air in 1948, the army barracks
you see at the left was home to a simple studio and a handful of folks who
were excited about bringing the latest technology to Hereford. Now, with
the fourth generation of the Formby family clicking keyboards to put KPAN
on the Internet, we are still excited about the latest technology to bring
radio's one-to-one communication to you, our on-line listener. KPAN
still has much of the original vision of 1948, a full-service radio
station for a community, daily providing music, sports,
advertising, journalism, weather, ag info, opinion, markets and fun for
Hereford -- and now for you, wherever you choose to log on.
