Target 5 makes this season a special one for a visually impaired woman

Faced with a mound of medical bills, a legally blind woman was worried she wouldn't be able to spruce up her home for the holidays or buy presents for her grandchildren.

But with some work from Santa's helper, Target 5's Tom Sussi, she was able to see a Christmas wish come true.

Lisa Holcomb called Sussi on behalf of her mom, Joyce Race, who's had several eye surgeries in recent months.

"She's going to be really surprised," Holcomb said. "She's probably going to cry."

And cry she did after Sussi gave her some good news. Johnny's Toys donated $175 in gift certificates for Race to spend on her grandkids, and Keely Feeman, owner of Merry Maids in Butler and Warren counties, cleaned Race's house top to bottom.

Race was overwhelmed by the companies' generosity.
