When Derek Murphy spoke about his life, he included his history of defeating drug addiction.
A lot of the credit for being alive, Derek gave credit to his wife and children.
Patience and love are the foundations of comeback stories. Derek gave the greatest credit to God.
Through his wife, the Buffalo City Mission, the Sons of God Ministry and his family's support, Derek is now living a life of giving back. Thank you Derek for sharing your hear at Teen Action Night. We know your story has left a powerful and lasting impact on young lives.
Thursday was also special in another couple of ways. The Buffalo Police delivered 30 Free Turkey Dinners from Day Four of Free Turkey Dinner Week. At the end of the week, 3,001 dinners were served.
​ We also had a Canisius College student come and volunteer as part of a Class Project. Thanks Jacky Lamica for all your help. You formed some beautiful relationships with the young people. We look forward to seeing you next week!
