Meridian Single Mom Gets a Helpful Hand Up from Local Painter

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

We know that Olive Garden said it first, but LITE-FM's kind of like the radio version of Olive Garden. When you're here, you're family. That's why when we got Lynn's letter about Robin, we immediately started calling in some favors. When you hear Lynn tell us Robin's story it may sound a bit familiar. That's because we met Robin not long after her husband passed away after a courageous battle with cancer, leaving her to raise the couple's twin daughters who have special needs by herself. Last year, we dropped by to help with some essentials and to let Robin know that she was anything but alone.

So imagine just how surprised we were when we saw Robin's name come past the Christmas Wish desk again this year! Some not so kind elves had egged her house earlier this year and despite her best efforts to scrub the house, the eggs did what eggs do and ruined the paint. She's still trying to get her feet under her and getting the house painted is definitely not in the budget.

Luckily, we've got a good friend Jason Clausen of Clausen's Painting who was excited to help Robin bounce back. He got with the Sherwin-Williams Paint Store on 12th Ave Rd in Nampa to put together a BIG surprise for Robin. He piled into the Treasure Valley Subaru Delivery Sleigh with us to surprise Robin with the news while she was at work!
