Warning: This sidenote will require action. Yup, November means Thanksgiving. A great time to eat waaay too much, hang with family and share hugs/stories/laughs about the year. It also means Movember, a time when my people (the mustached and bearded) unite for common good. But I’d like to skip ahead to an important day called #GivingTuesday (Dec. 2). This is an amazing day when we all can slow down amidst the holiday hustle and choose to give and make a difference in someone’s life. At Triple Threat, we have loved getting to know Tre Winfrey and his family for the last 7 years. Tre was shot in the neck during a drive-by shooting and has been quadriplegic for the past eight years. Seven years ago, through the help of a local church and partners, we were able to reconstruct the family's home to accommodate Tre’s wheel chair. Now we are hoping that YOU can help the family with a much needed van for transportation! I’m sure many of us take for granted the ability to just get out, jump in the car and go. To see the fall colors changing, go see a movie, or just go for a drive (not to mention getting to work, doctor visits, running errands, etc.). Tre needs to be able to do that too. So as you’re rockin’ a Thanksgiving feast with friends and family this year, make sure one of the conversations centers on how you all can make a HUGE difference in Tre’s life by contributing to his #GivingTuesday fundraiser to get a van!

Triple Threat cannot be more thankful for volunteers like Ashley Murphy and her passion to equip youth! Ashley led a writing workshop to coach 3T students how to communicate their personal stories and prepare college admission letters. Students gained writing skills, grew friendships and were encouraged to pursue their education.
Way to go Ashley!
