In October 2003, Hank Slaight passed away. His grandson, Mark (Mike’s son), now coordinates the Mike’s Kids project along with tremendous help from his sister, Christina Gill, and longtime family friend, Marvin Carter. Not to mention the countless tireless volunteers and local ministers.
For over 20 years, toys, clothing, and food have been collected and dispersed. From a loaded van to a full semi-trailer, people from many denominations and churches now know about Mike’s Kids and share the same concern for the “poorest of the poor” providing this help through the Southwest Good Samaritan Ministries.
Mike’s Kids has continued until this day.
