Auction to support Little family

There will be an auction the evening of Saturday, Sept. 24 at the VFW, with proceeds going to support Clay Little and his family, as he endures his battle with cancer.

Susan Little explained Clay has cancer in his lungs, for which he is currently undergoing injections every three weeks in Billings.

The purpose of the injections is two-fold, she noted. They are to help with the lung cancer, and hopefully shrink a cancerous tumor on his kidney and adrenal gland. The treatment takes about three months, and will hopefully shrink the kidney tumor to an operable size so it can be removed.

Susan said she feels humbled and honored to be in a community like Thermopolis, and shown the love she has. She added she has been inundated with prayers and calls, pointing out the Bible stated “When two or more are gathered, so am I,” and she has felt God’s presence through everyone.

Sharon Cordingly, who is helping to organize the event, said many people have already stepped up and volunteered to help. Such support is what the community is all about, she said, and it warms her heart to see that kind of response.

People in the county have an overwhelming desire to help one another, Cordingly said, and in addition to the auction one of the best ways to help is through prayer. “We’re storming heaven” with prayers for Clay and the family, she said. People can also bring items to be auctioned to the VFW, starting at noon on the 24th.

A supper of pulled pork sandwiches and sides will be served at 5:30 p.m., prior to the auction, for a free-will offering.
