A year ago, the father of Trey Cole died in an unequal battle with drug addiction. But instead of give up and lose faith in life, the boy made the tragedy an example, which helps him in the difficult mission of helping those who suffer from the same affliction as his father.
The idea and the desire to help eventually turned into a full-fledged plan, which has reached the stage of implementation. This Sunday, Trey gave away 50 backpacks with unusual filling to Oxford House Jarvis, rehabilitation center in Sicklerville, new Jersey.
On each backpack where there were useful things, like toiletries, there was a patch manually which was embroidered the name of the man who could not overcome his addiction to drugs and left this world, and on a small note inside was written the story of this man. The boy told reporters of news channel NBC that he has accumulated in his charity event, laboring in their free time.
Workers rehabilitation center say that the act of a Tray worthy of respect, as many people applying there for help have nothing and for them a simple backpack and its contents is a simple really need to purchase.
The center’s patients are unable to cope with overwhelming feelings, because the selfless act of the boy gives them hope and strength to continue fighting, for the sake of their children.
Trey doesn’t plan to stop, and is going to continue to hand out backpacks to people who fell victims of drugs across the country, like his father, was not forgotten.
One of the residents of Oxford House-Jarvis told the boy that he will store donated them to the backpack until the end of life, in the same way as the memory of his father Trey.
