Cline, who has kidney cancer that has advanced to his brain, can now rest easily in one of the recliners, on the couch or in a new bed provided by Factory Mattress.
The Merediths and the two teenage grandsons they are raising can gather around a new kitchen table with new chairs that haven t had to be reinforced with extra screws and bolts to keep them together.
Monday the 12 Statesman Season for Caring partner nonprofit agencies each received a $40,000 grant from the program. This is the second grant they have each received. In December, they each received a $10,000 grant.
A final grant will come in mid-February after Season for Caring ends its donation period on Jan. 31.
This year Season for Caring is having a record year. It has raised almost $117,000 in in-kind donations of goods and services and $1.36 million in monetary donations for a total of $1.47 million.
The grants received by the agencies will be used for helping the featured families that represent each agency first, but then be able to help hundreds of other families and individuals served by these local nonprofit organizations.
