Making Spirits Bright: Kiwanis Club of Lucedale
SUMMARY: The Kiwanis Club of Lucedale, led by Stephanie Poole and co-presidents Kelly Dixon and Stephanie Chisholm, has a long-standing tradition of positively impacting the youth of Jackson County through various initiatives. Throughout the year, they bring joy to the community and brighten spirits. The club’s contributions, spanning over 15 years, include providing park equipment for schools, supporting teachers with grants, organizing holiday meals for students, and running the Terrific Kid program. They also launched a Prom Closet, allowing students to attend dances with donated dresses and suits. These efforts foster connections within the community, illustrating the Kiwanis Club’s dedication to service, one step at a time. In the coming year, they plan to continue their heartfelt work for Lucedale’s population of just over 3,000 residents.
This holiday season, we’re focusing on organizations giving back to the community throughout the year, that are Making Spirits Bright.

SUMMARY: In this episode of WXXV’s Expert Talk, host Michelle Eubank welcomes Danielle Gillery from Senior Medicare Patrol to discuss telehealth, which gained prominence during the COVID pandemic. Telehealth allows patients to consult with doctors via video calls rather than in person. However, telehealth fraud occurs when individuals are billed for services from providers they’ve never interacted with, such as cases where nurses, rather than doctors, diagnose readings. Gillery advises viewers who suspect fraud to contact Medicare or the Senior Medicare Patrol for assistance. The organization provides resources to help resolve billing issues and combat scams.
SUMMARY: The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway supports families like Charlie’s, who benefited from the hospital’s free treatment for bone cancer. In 2020, after Charlie injured his shoulder, a specialist at St. Jude diagnosed him with Ewing sarcoma, leading to 14 rounds of chemotherapy and a limb-sparing surgery. The treatment, costing $2 million, was entirely free for the family, including housing, gas, and food. Now 15, Charlie helps raise millions for St. Jude and continues regular check-ups. The Dream Home Giveaway not only offers a chance to win a house but also supports the life-saving work at St. Jude.
Tickets for the home in Gulfport are $100, and proceeds benefit the St. Jude’s Children Hospital.
