Oprah's giving big to Topeka

Oprah's giving big to Topeka.

Talk show host Oprah Winfrey and ABC are donating $10,000 so 49 News and Let's Help can clean up five homes and help the people who live inside them.

It's part of Oprah's Big Give.

The challenge is to see how far we can make that $10,000 go.

So we need your help.

If you'd like to donate your time, money, or supplies, call our newsroom at 215-8524.

I don't know if you heard about the daycare that just closed. Well I wanted to submit the story to extreme home makeover to surprise my friend, who is the daughter of the person who started Lakeshore. This daughter was in a bad car accident and is confined to a wheel chair now. I don't know if there is anything you can do but I thought I would try. Sincerely yours,
Susan Athey
