WICHITA, Kan. – About 40 homeless men and women enjoyed Christmas this year–albeit a few days early–thanks to the Credit Union of America. But Friday’s ceremony when a local church distributed winter boots, shoes and clothing to the needy had a more significant meaning for two of the recipients, one dying of terminal cancer, who sold their wedding rings a few years ago to help make ends meet. The two were presented replacement wedding rings. “I feel overwhelmed because it made by wife happy,” said Don Hancock of the special gift. “She just didn’t want to die without a wedding ring.” The credit union has teamed up with the local parish, the Messiah’s Branch, for the past five years on the pre-Christmas charity.
