Help Opa Get the Care He Needs
70% complete- Opa — also known as Walter Weber — is the heart and soul behind Skiba News Nation. He’s not just part of the show… he’s part of the foundation. As the producer and the beloved host of “Opa’s Corner,” Opa brings wisdom, humor, and a lifetime of perspective that you just can’t fake. Whether he’s sharing stories, breaking down history, or making us laugh with his classic “Believe It or Not?!” moments, Opa has become a fan favorite and a core part of what makes this show feel like family. Behind the scenes, Opa plays a huge role in helping guide the vision of the show, keeping everything grounded, and reminding us why we started this in the first place — truth, faith, and community. Right now, Opa is in the hospital, and we need your support. While we’re incredibly thankful for the care he’s receiving, the reality is this: he needs to be transferred to a specialized hospital in Plano, TX that can better support his recovery and give him the best possible chance to heal and come home. Insurance will not cover the cost of the independent ambulance needed for this transfer. This isn’t just about medical care — it’s about getting him into the right environment with the right team so he can regain strength, receive proper therapy, and be closer to family. Opa has poured so much into this community. Now it’s our turn to stand with him. We’re asking for prayers, support, and for people to help us advocate for getting him into the care he truly needs. Any contribution will help us cover the cost of the ambulance transfer and ensure Opa gets the care he deserves. Thank you for being part of our community and for helping Opa on his journey to recovery.
