How Can I Help? – Sept. 12, 2023
SUMMARY: During an interview, Foreign Bill discusses Asher's ABCs, a children's charity foundation, with Miss Erica Bozant. Erica explains that she and her husband started the foundation after the unexpected loss of their son, Asher, who was a bright and special child. The foundation began as a grassroots movement fundraising group and has since become an official non-profit. They have collected donations and provided backpacks filled with school supplies, groceries, and sponsored library movies for children. Erica shares how Asher connected with people and how they continue to honor his memory through their work. She also mentions their partnership with other organizations such as the domestic abuse family shelter. Erica encourages people to visit Asher's ABCs on Facebook for more information and ways to help.

SUMMARY: Sanctuary Hospice, led by CEO Harold Plunket, seeks volunteers to assist in a joyful and fun environment. The hospice has two divisions: a 24-bed inpatient facility and a home division for visiting patients. Hospice care supports families by allowing them to focus on being with their loved ones in their final days. Sanctuary Hospice operates two Village Shops on North and South clusters, raising around $1.5 million annually. Volunteers are needed to sort and price clothes and move furniture, working flexible hours. To volunteer, individuals can contact the main office or visit the stores open Monday to Saturday.
Sanctuary Hospice Village Shoppe is asking for volunteers.
SUMMARY: A new report indicates that all but one university in Mississippi are increasing tuition due to rising costs. The increase is around 3%, with Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi each seeing costs reach approximately $10,000 annually. While inflation has been a reason for past hikes, this year, school leaders blame severe weather, which has increased property insurance costs. At a recent meeting, the Institutions for Higher Learning Board of Trustees discussed the financial impact of storms on campuses. Delta State University is making efforts to avoid tuition hikes to support economically vulnerable students, providing them access to higher education.
College tuition is increasing at almost all public universities in Mississippi.
