GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME BACK TO BROOKE COMMUNICATIONS AND
ROGUE CREDIT UNION’S WISH UPON A STAR PROGRAM…

IN THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON, STORIES OF RESILIENCE, SACRIFICE, AND DEDICATION OFTEN SHINE BRIGHTLY. MEET BRANDON, A SINGLE FATHER IN MYRTLE CREEK, WHOSE SELFLESS DEVOTION TO HIS FOUR CHILDREN, TWO OF WHOM AREN’T BIOLOGICALLY HIS OWN, PAINTS A POIGNANT PICTURE OF LOVE AND RESPONSIBILITY.

HERE IS TODAY’S WISH UPON A STAR…

Brandon, described by Andrea as “the greatest dad ever,” works tirelessly in Roseburg while ensuring his kids attend school there. Despite his relentless dedication, financial struggles cast a shadow over his daily life. His truck’s persistent tire issues, stemming from corroded rims, presented a constant challenge. It reached a point where Brandon faced a heartbreaking decision: fix the vehicle crucial for his livelihood or provide a joyful Christmas for his children.

Andrea, recognizing Brandon’s reluctance to seek help despite his dire need, reached out to Brooke Communications and Rogue Credit Union’s Wish Upon a Star program. Their collaboration became a beacon of hope for Brandon.

The community rallied together, showcasing the true essence of compassion and generosity. Thanks to an incredible partnership with Big O Tires, Brandon’s tire woes will soon be a thing of the past, with new wheels and tires ensuring safer travels for this dedicated father.

But the support didn’t stop there. The Rat Rod Roundup stepped in, offering a generous Walmart gift card, providing Brandon with the means to create a special Christmas for his children and secure household essentials. Additionally, a gift card from Sherm’s Thunderbird and Marshall’s will ensure the family has groceries and new clothes for the growing kids.

Douglas County Farmers Co-op also joined in, recognizing Brandon’s constant commuting between work and home. Their gift card for fuel will alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with this daily journey.

Brandon’s response, a heartfelt “Holy cow man… I appreciate that a lot, it means a lot,” encapsulates the overwhelming gratitude he feels towards this outpouring of support.

Brandon’s unwavering commitment to his family serves as an inspiration to us all, reminding us that the greatest gifts are often those given selflessly and received with boundless gratitude.
