Helping Beat the Texas Heat

48-year-old Georgetown resident Sean Jump, who lives on disability, got a bit of help for his small apartment this week in the form of two fans to help keep the intense Texas heat at bay.   Sean’s apartment is air-conditioned, but it just doesn’t quite do the job.   Thanks to Family Eldercare’s  Summer Fan Drive there’s help for Sean and plenty of other Central Texans who are seniors (55 and older), disabled, or families with children.   In Georgetown, Family Eldercare, which serves a 10-county area of Central Texas, has teamed up with the Georgetown Fire Department and The Caring Place to get fans to those in need.   Through the end of July in Georgetown, applicants who qualify can obtain fans at The Caring Place, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10a.m. -3p.m.    Those wishing to donate fans can drop them off at any of the five Georgetown fire houses, the locations listed here.  People wishing to make monetary donations can go to Family Eldercare’s site, www.SummerFanDrive.org. With temperatures well over 100 degrees already, this is a blessing.
