We are blown away by what our listeners and local business owners offered to donate for the Vasquez family from Fall River. 

If you were listening this morning, you heard about Tishia Vasquez and her five sons who are struggling after losing their husband / father in a motorcycle accident.

We were completely overwhelmed and overjoyed by the outpouring of donations for the Vasquez family this morning! Listeners donated Christmas trees, sports equipment, Celtics tickets, spending money for them to go to a Celtics game, Dave and Buster's giftcards and haircuts. One listener even offered Tishia a job closer to home at her cleaning company in Fall River so she doesn't have to drive to Newport. These tremendous acts of kindness will make such a difference in these five boy's holiday season.

In addition to the donations from listeners, local businesses came out in full force to help. Carlos from Honey Dew Donuts made an incredible $2,500 donation from himself and a friend, Flawless Cuts donated a year's worth of haircuts to the boys, Shop U7 donated new sneakers to all five boys, Salon Via in Fall River is providing Mom with services for an entire year, the Dartmouth Mall donated a $500 gift card, Long Built Homes donated $500, Fall River Municipal Credit Union donated $250, Used Tire Warehouse is updating Tishia's car with brand new tires and Churrascaria Novo Mundo in New Bedford donated a Christmas Eve dinner for the family.

If you would like to donate to the Vasquez family, please text WISH to 313131.

On behalf of Fun 107 and the United Way of Greater New Bedford, we thank you for your help in granting some wishes this holiday season!
