Ted, "Russell Adkins" is a pillar in our community and has given so much of himself by helping others in times of need, from food drives to toy drives, volunteering much of his time as well as working at "Nugen's Ranch" the first adult long-term treatment program for drug and alcohol addiction in Alaska. And most importantly every year Ted takes time out of his busy holiday season to play Santa Claus for children at the local Alano Club and several other facilities : ) and never asked for anything in return. Unfortunately, our dear friend recently lost one of his legs due to the complications of diabetes and his house is not only in shambles it is not even close to handicap accessible! Because he is just a few years shy of retirement and no longer able to work, his financial situation is looking a little bleak and being that it is in such rough shape and not handicap accessible he may lose his home and be forced into an assisted living program. Please help us, we need your help, to raise the money to save, renovate, and make his home handicap accessible! If we can exceed our goal we will donate any remaining moneys after the renovations to a diabetes awareness foundation of Ted’s choice. If you would like to learn more about Ted, or volunteer your time to help in the clean-up of teds property or the renovation of his home you can check out our FB page @ Ted’s “Russell Adkins” Diabetes Benefit Page. We know that times are tough in this economy and if you cannot help out financially we understand but we ask that you please take a few moments to at least spread the word!
LET’S GIVE BACK TO SANTA THIS YEAR AND GIVE HIM A HOME HE CAN LIVE IN!!!
