(S8) - PT 2 - Memorial Day

[ItsJustBarry]

This Memorial Day weekend was unlike any other in Trey Willie’s past. There was no celebrating, drinking, and partying. Instead, Trey found himself jetting back home after the news had broke of another school shooting had occurred in this broken country. This time though, this accident was right in Trey’s hometown backyard; a mere 9 miles from his childhood home. Although there were no reported casualties, there were still lives impacted and Trey felt this was his time to head back home and make a positive impact on his former neighborhood.

Upon his arrival, he was greeted by fans but this trip had a purpose as he streamlined his way out of the airport. Once home, he made time to speak on a regional radio shows, as well as speak on local news stations. He was then able to initiate a fundraising drive to help the families with the tragedy they had just faced. So far, the drive has managed to collect nearly $64,000 with Willie vowing to match the final donation amount collected. “I am truly blessed to be a part of the NSFL and this is my time to pay it back to the community that had such an impact on my life growing up”, Willie was quoted. He has extended his stay into the next week but with off-season wrapping up, he will need to head back to Baltimore soon.
