Robert Little works for the Sedgwick County Public Works department as a traffic technician. He hired on with the county less than two years ago, but has earned a reputation as conscientious and hard worker. Unfortunately, Robert Little and his family have been beset with a flurry of recent tragedies leaving them in great need of compassion and assistance. And as we enter this season of giving, I felt compelled to share their story in the hopes that we might bring some relief and aid to this family in need.

Shortly after hiring on with the County, the Little family suffered the death of their six year old daughter. Then on April 2nd, 2008 one of their 2 year old twin sons (Josiah) was diagnosed with Lymphocytic Leukemia. On December 2nd, Josiah contracted a virus which led to a staff infection. The infection led to the development of Toxic Shock Syndrome affecting his gallbladder, which has since been removed. In his efforts to help his family get through these crises, Robert has had to take time away from work and has long since used up the vacation and sick time he had accrued. So even as they deal with the painful issues of death and illness, Robert is currently going without pay.

Then, last Monday, December 15th, a house fire destroyed their home and their vehicle. Their home, which had been dedicated to them by Habitat for Humanity, is now untenable.

One family; dealing with the loss of a child, a diagnosis of leukemia for another, the loss of income, and this week, losing all their possessions, home, and vehicle in a house fire. Their children’s toys are not salvageable. All of their clothing is damaged. The Littles are currently divided/having to stay at three different locations, apart from one another, since their home is not livable.

Please consider making a donation to this family in need. The family is humbled, but spiritually strong. The parents have asked for nothing, but with encouragement, have helped us come up with a list of needs:

1. Make sure your tires are in good condition.  The condition of your car’s tires is critical during the winter. If the tires are worn, braking, acceleration and handling are all negatively impacted while driving on slippery roads.

2. Check the tire pressure.  Tire pressure is especially important during the winter. Traction is often at a minimum due to wet or snowy conditions. It is critical to have properly inflated tires, as this guarantees the best possible contact between the tire and the road.

3. Make sure your vehicle’s four-wheel-drive system is working properly . A big selling point for SUVs is that they offer 4WD, which improves traction in slippery conditions. But most people don’t use their 4WD systems during the summer. And while a four-wheel-drive system requires minimal maintenance, it’s still a good idea to check that it works properly before the onset of winter.

4. Maintain factory recommended schedule for changing the oil.  Dirty oil doesn’t circulate as well as clean oil, which can create wear and tear on your engine.

5. Inspect the belts and hoses.  The belts and hoses in modern cars lead long lives. But that doesn’t mean they don’t die. Cold temperatures can accelerate the demise of a belt or hose. Before winter starts, have the belts and hoses inspected on your vehicle.

6. Inspect the wipers and wiper fluid.  Visibility is particularly key during winter, as it is often compromised by precipitation, salt build-up on the windshield and reduced daylight. The life expectancy of a wiper blade is one year. If your car’s blades are older, replace them.  Also check and fill your wiper fluid reservoir. A harsh winter storm is the worst possible time to run out of wiper fluid or to discover your blades aren’t performing properly.

7. Check the battery.  A battery gives little notice before it kicks off. Cold temperatures can reduce a vehicle’s battery power by up to 50 percent. If your vehicle battery is older than three years, have it tested at a certified automotive repair facility. Also, make sure the posts and connections are free of corrosion.

8. Check antifreeze mixture.  The ideal mixture of antifreeze (coolant) and water inside your vehicle’s radiator is 50:50. If the mixture deviates from this norm, then hot- and cold-weather performance can be compromised.

9. Carry an emergency kit inside the car.  Wintertime requires you to load more junk into the back of your vehicle. But hey, better safe than sorry, right? Things you might want to consider carrying:

a. A flashlight, flares and a first-aid kit.
b. Jumper cables, a tool kit and tire chains.
c. A blanket, warm clothes and gloves.
d. Paper towels.
e. A bag of abrasive material, such as sand, salt or non-clumping kitty litter. Use this for added traction when a tire is stuck.
f. A snow brush, ice scraper and snow shovel.
g. Extra washer fluid.
h. Extra food and water.
