Local Clarksville Santa needs your help!

DONATE TO KEN’S GO FUND ME HERE!  Recently a very special friend named Santa (Ken Midura) had an accident resulting in the loss of his lower right leg. Currently Ken does not receive any form of disability and is still waiting for an appointment at the local Social Security office to even apply for possible help. Now confined to a wheelchair in a home with multiply stairs to negotiate is only his first challenge as part of his recovery. Being out of work and having no income to support all the mounting medical expenses has set him back. Ken lives alone and is struggling living in a home that is not set up for his new disability. Ken has been a Clarksville Resident since 2000. Ken has supported many local organizations over the past 12 years attending annual Christmas parties as Santa.  He is one of the most sincere Santa’s you will ever meet and has seen many of the same children grow up year after year.  We personally have had annual family Christmas photos with Ken for the past 12 years. The funds raised to help support Ken in his time of need will be used to pay the daily household expenses, utilities & food, install safety bars throughout the house, purchase a hover round chair for mobility, and possibly a stair climber chair so that he can access his lower level of his home.
