Merry Christmas!

My staff and I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas! We hope you have a wonderful, safe holiday making memories to last a lifetime!

I want to thank all who have helped the less fortunate during the holiday season. In Pahokee, when Lake Village at the Glades released a wish list for supplies and gifts for its shelter residents, the community response was incredible. I'm appreciative to WPTV for airing a story about this need. And I want to thank Jay O'Brien from CBS 12 for his tweet about a newly evicted and homeless mom who contacted the station for help. He reached out to my office, and we were able to place the mom and her family in a hotel.

Stories like this are too common, so when we come together as a community we can give our greatest gift--the opportunity to help those who need it most!
