This is why! They have greatness in them!

This is Warrick Dunn.

When he was just 18 years old, his life changed forever.

His mother, Betty Smothers, was a Baton Rouge police officer.

She was injured and passed away while working an off-duty security job, leaving behind six children.

Warrick was still a senior in high school.

Most teenagers are thinking about graduation, college, friends, and football.

Warrick suddenly had to think about how to help raise his five younger siblings.

But he did not give up.

He went to Florida State.

He graduated.

He became a star football player.

Then he made it to the NFL as a first-round draft pick and went on to play 12 seasons.

But what he did after becoming successful is what makes his story unforgettable.

Warrick never forgot what his mother wanted most.

She had dreamed of owning a home.

So he created a programme to help single-parent families buy homes of their own.

Through Homes for the Holidays, he helped families with down payments, furniture, food, and the things that turn a house into a home.

Over the years, he has helped more than 145 families move into homes.

Single mothers.

Children.

Families who needed someone to believe in them.

He could have spent everything on himself.

Instead, he used his success to give other families the dream his mother never got to live.

From tragedy.

To responsibility.

To the NFL.

To changing lives.

Warrick Dunn did not just become a football player.

He became the kind of man his mother would have been proud of.

This man lost his mom first then his dad. He still went to nba!

Born in London, England, on July 17, 1997, Anunoby was the youngest of seven children born to Nigerian parents Grace and Ogugua Anunoby Sr. His mother, Grace, was an accomplished athlete in Nigeria before moving to England, where she met Ogugua Sr., a finance and management scholar pursuing his academic career. The couple built their life in London and raised a large family together, but tragedy struck when Grace died from cancer in 1998, shortly after OG's first birthday. Growing up with six older siblings, Anunoby never had the chance to know his mother personally, learning about her athletic achievements and strength through stories passed down by family members.

After his mother's death, Ogugua Sr. devoted himself to raising the family's seven children while advancing a distinguished academic career. The family later moved to the United States, where he became a professor at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri. His guidance and emphasis on education helped shape Anunoby's path from a promising young athlete to a standout player at Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball and eventually the NBA. However, another devastating loss came in 2017 when Ogugua Sr. died unexpectedly in his sleep at age 56, just months after Anunoby was selected 23rd overall by the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Draft. The tragedy occurred during his rookie season, leaving Anunoby without either parent before his 21st birthday. Despite enduring those hardships, he has gone on to become one of the NBA's premier two-way players, carrying forward the resilience and work ethic instilled by his family.

God is a God of second chances!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Right now, the Spalding County Fire Department has a team of eight inmates, helping them fight fires and giving them a skill set to use once they get out.

One former member of that team is now out of prison and has been hired as a Spalding County firefighter.

Damien Hill spent almost 20 years behind bars, and during the last three years, he trained for this.

He said he is grateful for this second chance.

I was incarcerated 19 years and 10 months and from day one I already knew that was a place I didnt want to be, said Hill.

So while Hill was serving time in Georgia prisons for being the getaway driver in an armed robbery, he stayed out of trouble and changed his mindset.

I picked up every book I could read. I studied all I could study and I made plans, said Hill.

Three years ago, those plans brought him to the Spalding County Fire Department as part of a Department of Corrections program that trains inmates as firefighters. Hill was part of the original team of eight from the Spalding County Correctional Institution.

They felt like this was their way of making amends and it gave them that opportunity to feel community and make amends for what they did, said Chief Mike Byrd.

Byrd said any hesitation from other firefighters was short-lived.

When they pull up, its like the calvary pulling up because were a small department. We have two people to an engine. When they come pulling up, its ideal and they go straight to work theyre good firefighters, said Byrd.

Warden Eric Sellers said the selection process itself sets a very high bar of physical fitness, academic aptitude, attitude and work ethic.

Then we look at his criminal record, does his criminal record fit the needs of a firefighter, said Sellers.

Hill met all those requirements and after serving as a firefighter for three years while still incarcerated. He got out of prison in late October, and he is now the first inmate ever to become a Spalding County firefighter.

This is one of the best interviews on the face of the planet because we actually get to train them our way,



see their job performance, work ethic, how they get along as a team, said Byrd.

Said Hill: Now Im in a position where Im getting off the engine first, Im first in. Im able to deal with people first handedly without any supervision and help without any supervision.

Hill said the job gives him a sense of community and a purpose, a way to stay out of prison and on the right track and this is a second chance he will not take for granted.

My mind state was clearly: Dont come out looking for a hand-out, come out giving a hand, and thats what I did, said Hill.
