Their dad was in a nasty accident that should have severed his foot and hasn’t been able to work in months. At this point, they are literally hunting and fishing for their meals, kids included. I am asking that the folks on the west side find someone who could use our help. Surely someone here knows a family in true need.

Who from the west side would like to head up this part of the project? It’s gonna require a lot of effort and some valuable time but, what better to do than help someone else out?!

Several things were mentioned to me last night that I had never considered about doing this. Clearly, having some toys for the kids in the family is a no brainer but, to Mom and Dad, they need help as well. A gift card to a Payless Shoe Store was one thing mentioned. We all know kids need shoes and this helps make sure money isn’t spent in an irresponsible way. Also, a local grocery store card that is for dairy and meat only. Or, get with their utility company and pay a light bill. All things that are a TREMENDOUS help to parents that you wouldn’t normally relate to a Christmas family.


Eman and I talked last night and, he and “Mrs. Clause” will be handling the delivery aspects of the east family due to proximity to my personal family and, I really want to keep this anonymous. Depending on the funds raised, we will be delivering some toys for the kids, a good, hot Christmas meal and perhaps some relief for Mom and Dad.


I will not only be relying on what we as Salty Cajuns raise but, will also be hitting up some local businesses about helping as well. I think this could be a HUGE success and a great tradition for this band of brothers here at the SC! Depending on the funds raised, we may be able to help more families than two. This all depends on you guys! Again, I need a west side member to help with this as well. Discuss it amongst yourselves and pick a chairperson for this as well as a family. Everyone here is free to call me anytime regarding this at my shop or, on my cell. Those numbers are 225-647-2772(shop) and, 580-716-4995(cell)


Let’s make this thing great fellas!!!!
