We're Transforming Inner City, At-Risk Youth from the Inside Out!
Our Youth need our Love and Support, now more than ever!
My name is Tiffany Smith and Cameron was my baby boy. On Saturday night I experienced a mother's worst nightmare, which was a call stating that my son had been shot and I needed to go to the hospital immediately.
Not to mention this shooting was all over the news (Atlantic Station Shooting) and they had already reported that one child was already deceased.Upon arriving to the hospital is when I got the devastating news that my child had suffered an inoperable gun shot wound to the head and 4 days later my son passed due to his injury.
As I stated above, this experience has been my worst nightmare and I'm stillin shock but I trust and believe that this isn't just about me or Cameron. I truly believe that there is/was a greater calling on my child's life and unfortunately this is how it's unfolding.
My son was a boxer and we invested 6 years into developing and training him to be a professional boxer. Cameron worked with several coaches & trainers with one intentionwhich was to send him to the Olympics in 2024 with one of his Boxing Coach's Zahir Raheem who went to the Olympics in 1996 in Atlanta. This experience has shaken my core and I'm committed that not another mother has to go through the experience of my current reality.
In the spirit of my son,
- I'm fighting to end senseless gun violence for young people all over the world, not just Atlanta.
- I'm fighting for young to peopleto know that they matter and that they are loved.
- I'm fighting for Mom's to have the resources & support they need and to know they are not alone in raising their kids.
