CARTHAGE, MO.--- If you want  your Christmas presents to look awesome, just go to Lodema Martin. She's wrapping for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. She's doing it for her 7-year-old granddaughter, Kinsey, who is battling the disease. Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that affects the lungs. She says women wrap presents a bit better than guys, because she's seen some pretty sad wrapped presents. 

"Some of them have put them in trash bags and put electric tape on them," says Martin. 

Lodema Martin is wrapping the gifts for free, but is asking for donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. If you would like your gifts wrapped she is set up at 231 South Main St. in Carthage, right off the square across from the Carthage Deli. She'll be wrapping Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. until Christmas Eve.
