This past evening, June 20, friends and relatives of Trae Francis gathered on Main Street behind Stitch where they staged a benefit for the 4-year-old’s medical expenses. Trae is the son of Travis and Tessa Francis of rural Lipscomb County and Canadian. He has been fighting the effects of a serious Shiga E. coli infection for several weeks in the Dallas-area Cook Children’s Medical Center. Last week, he finally made it back home. After volunteers served up about 200 burgers in the heat, folks settled into their lawn chairs and on the ledge.

Following last week’s EF3 tornado that has caused extensive damage in Perryton, both KXDJ Radio’s Chris Samples and https://highplainsobserverperryton.com/ continue to provide frequent and detailed updates regarding the needs of that devastated community.
