Today's family in need: This young man is 11 years old. He lives with his grandmother.
His parents are in Mexico, and he has not seen or heard from them in over three years.
"Grandma is poor and has no income that we are aware of; she supports herself and her grandson by doing odd jobs. After all her grandson has gone through, she would like to see him have a Merry Christmas," said Salvation Army Corps Officer Lt. Kelly Berggren.
About the Empty Stocking Fund: The fund is a joint venture of the Salvation Army and The Eastern New Mexico News. The fund helps low-income families with toys, food and clothing.
How to help: The Eastern New Mexico News is accepting Empty Stocking Fund donations at its newspaper offices in Clovis (521 Pile St. or PO Box 1689, Clovis NM 88101) and Portales (101 E. First St. or PO Box 848, Portales NM 88130).
Envelopes should be clearly marked "Empty Stocking Fund." Checks must be payable to The Salvation Army. Contributions will be forwarded to The Salvation Army.
