Community Rallies Around Grieving Nampa Family

LITE-FM's Christmas Wish is back, thanks to our friends at Pioneer Federal Credit Union.

Barbara wrote us a letter about her friend and co-worker, Stephanie. Stephanie's family is experiencing a year of heartbreak. Earlier this year, her niece passed away after a car accident. While grieving the loss of a loved one is tough enough, the accident brought on a series of medical, funeral and attorney bills that the family wasn't prepared to shoulder. Both she and her husband work hard, but just couldn't keep ahead of them.

Their friends rallied around them, hosting fundraisers to try to help with the finances, but it wasn't enough. Barbara would give Stephanie the world if she could, but at this time isn't able to offer anymore than the help that's she's already given. Her hope was that someone in the community would be in the position to add a little sunlight back into such a dark year for Stephanie and her family.

Luckily, we've got so many incredible LITE-FM listeners that donated to the Christmas Wish fund that we were able to make it happen. Our elves piled in the Treasure Valley Subaru Delivery Sleigh and went to surprise Stephanie at work.
