The gift Meals on Wheels client Lloyd Jackson craves most this holiday season is the same one he’s wanted every year for the past decade. And every year he’s gotten exactly what he wants – a good stable home life for his 11 year old great-grandson, Kevon Walton, whom Lloyd, and his wife, Bertha, have raised since the boy was a year old. Raising a child can be challenging even under the best of circumstances, but Lloyd and Bertha Jackson faces obstacles that many parents don’t.  Read more.
