As the costs of everyday items go up, so does the number of people living without those necessities. The Douglas Business Network is helping provide winter clothing to local kids, through its Seventh annual Douglas Cares Fundraiser. 'The biggest thing that anybody could get from this is just a smile on the kids,” said Douglas Business Network , Ralph Robles. This year, 18 students, from K-12 schools in Douglas , received a $130 shopping spree at Walmart.
'I actually want to help the students and get whatever they need to be successful in life.”More than $1,800 was raised for students from three local schools. Robles says most of the kids were in elementary school and junior high. The money was donated by local businesses and community members. Robles says they were given the opportunity to sponsor a kid for $130.
