A Palm Beach County teen is scaring people for a good cause. That’s how Jonah Wides spent his Friday and Saturday nights.
“We’re just doing a haunted house to raise money for Forgotten Soldiers,” he said.
Forgotten Soldiers Outreach is a nonprofit that sends care packages to soldiers overseas. The organization is dear to his family.
“My dad’s grandpa used to be in the military so I just wanted to do it for him,” Wides said.
Jonah’s mother, Sheryl Wilk, said the nonprofit has been a part of their family for years.
“When he was a baby I used to volunteer with them — when I had a lot more time — and so I would bring him in the stroller and I would help with care packages for Forgotten Soldiers,” Wilk said.
Together they transformed almost every inch of their Winston Trails home into a haunted house. The project was a year in the making.
