Cookie jar auction Saturday

Sandi and Maynard Bills will be holding a Cookie Jar Auction for their grandson Saturday, April 16 beginning at 6 p.m. at the VFW.

Sandi works locally as a substitute teacher for the Hot Springs County School District as well as helping with the People for People Backpack Program. She also attends St. Francis Parish Catholic Church.

Sandi said her grandson Ty Miller has Stage 3 Polycythemia Rubra Vera with JAK2 mutation. Ty was diagnosed with the disease at age 8 and is now 13. At Stage 3, Ty still has the chance to survive. However if he gets to Stage 4, he will not.

Sandi said she feels lucky to live in such a generous community.

“We’ve only been here a year and a half, but I can’t believe the kindness of the people,” she said. “This is a wonderful community. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.”
