SUMMARY: A program called Peanut’s Place has been established in Tupelo for adults with special needs. Charlotte Warfield was inspired to create the program by thinking about her daughter’s future. The goal is to provide a place for adults with special needs to go while their caregivers are at work. The program started with assistance from the Create Foundation and is looking for volunteers and donations. The members of Peanut’s Place have been enjoying crafts, field trips, and Bible lessons. They hope to eventually provide care Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. More information on how to get involved can be found on the WTVA website.

Adults with special needs are underserved in a lot of areas. But, a local mom is working to change that with the start of Peanut’s Place.

SUMMARY: Walker Mim, a Mississippi high school baseball player, faced a life-altering Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis. Concerned about his son’s unusual throwing motion, Walker’s father prompted an MRI that revealed cancer instead of a shoulder injury. Despite the harsh treatments, Walker remained resilient. Make A Wish Mississippi granted him a wish to attend the World Series, marking a symbol of hope as he completed his treatment. Supported by his family and community, who wore “Walker Strong” bracelets, he found strength in his faith, particularly through Philippians 4:13. Thankfully, Walker is now feeling well and embracing life again.
