Amarillo's Picnic Table Vendor Raising Funds Amid Medical Struggles
Amarillo resident Sanford Waters has been making headlines for his unique handcrafted condiment holders shaped like miniature picnic tables. Sold in the Home Depot parking lot on Soncy Road, these items are not only a conversation starter but also help raise funds for Waters' mounting medical expenses and vehicle problems.
Waters lives in Dumas and travels to Amarillo regularly for doctor's appointments, which brought him to Soncy Road where he sets up his makeshift stand. His story has resonated with the community, with many people stopping by to show their support and buy his handmade items.
A friend of Waters', Annie Wortham, described him as 'very deserving' of the love he's receiving. Wortham met Waters on her way to work and was drawn to his kind smile and determination to make a living despite facing financial difficulties.
