Dr. Chris Walker wants to make this Christmas season a little brighter for some less fortunate families in the CSRA.
Walker – owner of Walker Chiropractic in Augusta, is participating in a promotion called Christmas Blessing with the Christian non-profit radio station 88.3 WAFJ to help at least four families overcome their greatest financial needs, such as buying presents or paying past-due bills. The promotion asks people to nominate local families in need by filling out a brief application on the WAFJ website. The application deadline is Sunday, Nov. 14 at 11:59 p.m. “That gives us a couple weeks to organize,” he explains. Walker doesn’t know how many applications the station has received so far. Once all applications are received, he and staff members from WAFJ will review the nominations and complete the difficult task of selecting at least four families to help. “We don’t want to say no to anybody,” he states. “We wish we could make everyone’s Christmas blessings come true.”
The Golden Rule and a quote from Benjamin Franklin that states, “Do well by doing good” have inspired him to help others. The team plans to surprise the selected families in early December. “I’m excited about it because I like helping other people,” he says. “It takes a village to help people.” To submit a nomination for someone in need, visit https://www.wafj.com/contests/christmas-blessing/.
