KML Christmas Wish Family Two: Stephanie, Santasia and Leilani Hall of Shannon

Their Story: The Big 95.7 KML and our listeners are giving back to our community this holiday season. Listeners have nominated families they know who are in need this year. Our second family this season is Santasia and Leilani Hall from Shannon. Santasia's mother Stephanie nominated her daughter, and this is their story:

"My daughter Santasia Hall is 26 year old was involved in a car accident on October 9, 2022. She has a 10-month-old daughter Leilani Hall, and due to her injuries she is now paralyzed from her shoulders down. She was a single working mother that provided for her and her daughter. She is currently still in ICU in Chapel Hill. My granddaughter now lives with me and I am the sole provider for both of them. This has been a life changing situation for us. I'm trying to work, run to Chapel Hill and take care of Leilani. Anything will help our little family and would truly be a blessing. My daughter's prognosis at this time from doctors is permanently paralyzed. My home will have to be completely remodeled to meet her needs when she is discharged. We appreciate any support and mostly prayers for God to perform a miracle."

The Hall Family will receive a $500 gift card from Black River Entertainment, and a $100 gift card from Foust Heating and Air Conditioning. We have organized this GoFundMe campaign to help with additional expenses, and your support will directly go to the family.

Please Note: While the GoFundMe for Family 2 has maxed out at the $500 we set, Family 1 could still use your support. If you feel compelled, please donate here.

December is here and that means we're fully allowed to move on from Thanksgiving and get in the Christmas spirit in North Carolina. What better way that by celebrating the best Christmas towns in the country?!

Travel + Leisure recently put together a list of the best Christmas towns in the U.S. Included in there is a somewhat surprising coastal city right here in North Carolina.

"Nothing quite compares to the joy of holiday decorations. The sight of a town decked out with boughs of holly, among other Christmas decor, can send warmth all the way down to your toes — even in the midst of a blizzard. Whether you're returning home to see family and find yourself eagerly awaiting the 25-foot tree illuminated in your town square, or you're taking a solo trip to a seasonal destination this year and are ready to be met with holiday cheer, there's always a reason to visit one of the best Christmas towns in the USA."

Below, you will find the top 10 towns and we also give out an honorable mention to a South Carolina town that made the list.
