NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Those in Davidson County wanted on state warrants for non-violent crimes are being given a special opportunity toward a second chance during Nashville Safe Surrender 2025 on Friday and Saturday.

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”.
