Thanks for watching and have a great night. So many people are out there doing great things in our community there is evening we are taking a look at their good work. Im lucy noland. Im iain page. Thank you for joining us. Our Bill Anderson is going to introduce us to some people making a difference. First up a family says they faced violence and persecution in mexico, theyre now if philadelphia fighting their return there, a local church has stepped in to help. I came here because of crime and justice and corruption in my country. I came here because of the violence of organized crime running rampid in mexico. Carmella didnt plan to come to the united states, but at some point her life in drug cartel became too much, so she and her children came to the san diego port hoping for asylum. Before i came to this country, i lost three family members two of them were my nephews, a and one every them was my brother, one of the nephews was decapitated. The caution comes down to what one side says is right verse us what the government says is legal. Today in north philadelphia a family face that conflict. Long stood at this place for justice, for equality, and for human rights. It seems quite fitting we continue that tradition. Carmella has been in our area for two years while her case was considered, but when she received notice her asylum was denied she would be deport add local church couldnt let that happen. She is a warm compassionate woman, loves her children fiersely, i can only imagine if i were in the same situation, i would want somebody to work with me and to help me. Lean on me to help was to publicly offer sanctuary to carmella and her kids, will live in an apartment in the church with the support of the congregation, who knows that theyve welcomed in someone facing deportation, but also someone whose life is likely in danger if she returns to mexico. See, did i not see any other options except to open the door to receive her and her family. Carmella wears an ankle monitor, so immigration knows where she is at all time. This is a Public Statement that carmella and the congregation are opposing immigration policy, because it is risking lives of people who tried to follow the rules. Im resolved to being san too area, ice knows exactly where i am. If they come and take me, take me from here, then it is up to them what theyre going to do. So following the law meant possibly putting somebodys family at risk, what should we do . It is the right thing to do. The church of the advocate believes they made the only decision they could make for goodness sake. Im Bill Anderson. Well local school block just blocks from center sit abandoned for 40 years has reopened. The build something get ac Second Chance to help our veterans and seniors. Heres bill. I graduated in 1978 and there was no jobs. I didnt have too much going on. Im walking down north broad street one day, and i decided to go into the recruiting office. Eye he clark like too many veterans, served in the navy. When he came out things were pretty good. But when the economy dried up, he says it, changed dramatically. And i lived not actually on the street, but i live from pillar to post, from partner to partner, through the years. If you think about it, it is a really sad but true comparison, the old Spring Garden school behind me in north philadelphia, and too many of our veterans, have at love similarities. For years, it is to sat abandoned, vacant, with nobody recognizing that all it needed was a little bit of support as they walked by. Nobody helped. Until now. Help philadelphia actually came in and we redeveloped the school and we created 37 unit designated to veterans and seniors. For help philadelphia and the philadelphia housing authority, creating subsidized housing isnt a new phenomenon, but talking to ivy i realized it is not just build apartments, watching this old school transform and provide housing to veterans, thats building hope. I see it every day for years. I see the renovation, and i started praying that i can get a place here. Walking through the building you can still see the structure of a school. They even purposely left some of the graffiti. From what it was to what it is. But walking the former classrooms, now apartment, that house low income veterans and seniors for minimal rent, and you see why some who were discouraged before feel like theyre getting another chance. I spent the first night here basically looking at the ceiling and just thanking god. And within with a affordable and comfortable place to call his own, even at nearly 60, ivy calls this a new beginning. Im in school now. I go to penn. This is the beginning of a lot of things i need to do for myself. A building, forgotten for 40 years, and people, some forgotten longer than that, have been given a new place and a new chance for goodness sake. Im Bill Anderson. Texting and driving not just a bad idea, it is illegal. So how do you keep kids who are constantly texting off their phones when theyre behind the wheel . The program to show new drivers were they need to put down their phones now. Not only is texting and driving illegal, it is also dangerous. Majority of the teens do it anyway. One local high school trying to stop that with a reality check. Weve all seen the horrific commercials, been bombarded with stats about the dangers every texting and driving, but it doesnt seem to be working. Do you ever text and drive . Yes. Occasionally. Little bit, yes. Lets be honest, unfortunately, too many people have to be scared straight. Being personally affected, tends to influence behavior, but it also means that you have to deal with the tragedy. So, Quakertown High School decided to try something different. So today we have a demonstration from Lehigh Valley health network. They have a driving simulator it is to demonstrate the dangers of not only texting and driving but distracted driving. In fairness to the student as the lines formed to try to simulate err, yes, several admit that they do text and drive. But the ones who did new they need to stop and several others, theyve already gotten the message. Youre not the texting and driving no, no, no. Because it is distracting and i dont want to crash. Youre driving. The teens sat down, at the took the wheel, and then were faced with many of the distractions they could face daily on the road. But what started off as a joke to many, a video game to other oops. Began to change as they saw the consequences. Wiggle your toast. No movement or sensation below the waist. It was scar. I yes . Yes. I crashed into someone. There was a red light, and i didnt stop fast enough. I see whats happened on the roads. People crash. People die because of it. Oops. We have to remember that these are teens. And as much as people may judge their decisions, or the decision to simulate fatal accidents it, seemed to have an impact as pretty much everyone left the simulation, getting the message. It is not really worth t why put your life on the risk, like on the line, for something so stupid . Definitely think twice before picking up the phone. This is a felony. Hopefully showing the effect of texting and driving without actually having to experience an accident, will help not only these student, but everyone who doesnt seem to grasp that nothing is so important that it cant wait 15 minute to potentially save a life for goodness sake. Im Bill Anderson. A birthday wish unlike any other. Young man is asking for donations. He want them to help recovering drug addict, hoping his own life story will inspire others for goodness sake. Heres bill of the. Every day using up to 26 bags of heroin. Using anything i can get my hands on, anything to alter my mind. Brian has been through more than most 18 year old. He wasnt even sure he would make it to another birthday. So this years a little different. I expected i would die from using drugs. And for awhile i was okay with that. After teen years filled with addiction struggles, hes been drugfree for nearly eight months and has clarity on his life that was absent for some time. One day, you know, something hit me. I called my parent and told them that i needed help. I decided to turn myself in and ask for treatment. March win at 13, heroin met by 16th, after run for months it, finally click for brian, as he approaches his 19th birthday he decided to share his store. I i feel like my story could help other people. Part of the help is asking anyone who sees his social media or this story to donate in honor of brians january 11 birthday, to a nonprofit that helps people in recovery. Brians mom believes the donations and openly sharing the story may offer support for recovering addict and their families to know there are people who can row late. Not knowing if im going to get a phonecall, a good phonecall or a bad phonecall, whether essay life or dead, dreading when the phone didnt ring. But even with all theyve been through, she said the family never stopped praying for and believing in brian, in hopes others also embrace that message. I hope you never have to experience having a child who becomes addicted to any kind of drugs. But just care. Brians birthday next week. Nineteenth birthday that he didnt expect to see. And because of that, hes asking all of us to donate to his chosen cause and try to save more lives that may also recover and pay it forward. For goodness sake. Im Bill Anderson. Next one lucky dog. A frozen lake, and a Police Officer who put his life in danger. To save a pups life. [narrator] look around. If our world isnt stuck in the past, why is Higher Education . We say, if theres a better path, you should take it. And when there isnt, well, you know where im going with that. Dont do things by the book if the book cant keep up. Take your page from one that hasnt been written. We took two renowned universities, including a premiere medical school, and created a Single University that defies convention. At jefferson, were making modern look old and making old look new and making sure new is not enough. Were adding more weight to your degrees and more meaning to your careers, going where others wouldnt dare, making connections few think to make, and setting tomorrows standards by breaking todays, because we believe the lines that are drawn are meant to be crossed. Thats where the future is born. And once you realize youre not limited to whats possible, guess what . You redefine all that will be. A puppy rescued from an icy lake, a local Police Officer, the hero. Our Bill Anderson talked with not only that officer but the pups grateful family. There was know on the ice. She was apparently running around the circle of ice looking at the ducks, and fell in. The video now going viral. A hopewell Township Police officer, crawling on a partially frozen lake, to rescue the barely one year old rotweiler puppy. He thought nothing of himself. He thought 100 about what needed to be done to bring her to safety. Whether or not it is a farrah sum sean, a loft us expect Police Officers to risk their lives to save ours. So, if you came up on this frozen pond, and someone had fallen in, would you try to help them . What about if it was a dog . The water is cold. And you wear out. She would have drowned, yes, she absolutely would have drowned. Because of the hopewell officer, she was back playing in her yard, even back chasing ducks, but only doing it because the office evers selfless actions. The dog had gone under for about maybe five seconds, came back up, the office ever peterson, also one of my personal best friends, i trust him with my life, i said when i get this dog, i just want you to yank us out. Social media is exploding with thanks for the officers actions, and pointing out their willingness to risk themselves for the rotty but the officer act as if it came with the territory. I about 20 degrees out, just finished snowing, avenue four month old puppy at home. My heart was racing. The public wanted to say thank you, something they were honestly a little uncomfortable with, because since it is because she is okay, they humbly except. It has to be nice that people are applauding the effort. Kind of embarrassing, but it is nice, the highlight of all of then tire incident was the dog is okay. So the question i asked earlier still stands would you risk yourself to rescue a dog you didnt know . There is a family and a pup that i are happy today that officer voorhees and officer petersons answers were a strong yes, for goodness sake. Im Bill Anderson. Little boy with a big dream to go viral. But not doing anything dangerous or illegal or anything like that. Yes, a message he wants to spread to other kids. For goodness sake. Heres bill. This rap video doesnt look all that different from many other. Granted the rapper is nine, but strong beats, check. Flashy jewelry, check. Most of what you are used to seeing is, there but the message is really different. Going hard for these good grades when i first got an email about his son, i honestly wasnt sure why i would do this story about the nine year old illinois rapper. But when he told me he is reaping out to stations across the country trying to make the video go viral, he honestly made a strong argument. A lot of stuff thats going viral today, too, is the wrong message. And the more it is shown around it, it makes the kids think that it is okay to do those things. He also wanted people to see the impact that a positive message had on his own son. K old ski nine, so his rap dreams are like most kids. What do you hope happens with this career . I hope i get famous. But the recognition that hes starting to get for his good gained hasnt changed his dreams, but how he plans to reach them. So i want to tell everybody that to get good grades, to get a degree, because i want a degree and then you can do what you. The dad, j old is he a rapper himself, but had the eye opening moment he hopes goes cents viral, when parent realize they want their kids to act right, they have to.
