Student creates haunted house for charity

LAKE WORTH BEACH, Fla. — A Park Vista Community High School freshman turned his family home into a haunted house for a great cause.

Jonah Wides, 14, created a haunted house to benefit Forgotten Soldiers Outreach. The organization is dedicated to creating care packages for military personnel serving overseas.

Wides came up with the idea to give back to the community last year. For the past several months, Wides and some of his classmates have volunteered to make this possible.

“I decided to do this because I just wanted to help the soldiers and provide them with things because they really need them,” he said. “They do a lot for us and America.”

If you are interested in helping Jonah and the US Army, you can make a monetary donation or donate packaged snacks, travel hygiene products, and write a letter of encouragement to the soldiers.

The Haunted House is open Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26 from 7:00pm to 10:00pm.

It is located in Shadow Creek Village in the Winston Trails community of Lake Worth.

If you live outside of Winston Trails, you will need to answer for access to the community gate at [email protected] or at 561-703-9696.
