NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — NewsChannel 5's Red Kettle Challenge is taking place on Wednesday, December 6!

We hope you'll come see us at the Kroger on Franklin Road in Brentwood as we ring the bells and take donations for the Salvation Army's annual campaign.

This year, NewsChannel 5 is asking you to help us raise $1,000 to provide hope to families across our community and help stop the events that could lead to life changes that are not for the better.

If you can't make it, don't worry! You can donate online as well.

Blind woman entertains assisted living neighbors, plays seven instruments

“I’ve never met anyone like Tennie.”

That’s how one neighbor at Stones River Manor in Murfreesboro describes Tennie Fitzpatrick, who has mastered as many as seven different musical instruments. Each day, Tennie shares those talents with residents, workers and visitors. It’s an ability Tennie herself believes is “a gift from God.” That’s because Tennie is blind, and overcame a difficult, abusive childhood.  Forrest Sanders shares this truly inspirational story.
