NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It was a somber holiday for a youth softball league in Nolensville after they lost their equipment in a fire Thursday morning. Now the team is doing all they can to restore what was lost.
The fire is currently being investigated to rule out any foul play, but the Nolensville Youth Softball organizers said they are a growing program, and it was a heartbreaking loss.
We talk about what the team is doing now to rebuild in the player above.
Fire crews made their way to the fields at around 2:30 a.m. to find heavy smoke and flames coming from the shed. The shed houses all of the league's equipment. Fire crews said it was a total loss.
Officials are asking anyone who has information or camera footage of the Nolensville ballpark throughout the night of July 3 to contact the Fire Marshals office.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
