Wilmington, DE 鈥 On the heels of 兔子先生系列麻豆 incoming freshman student-athlete Ty鈥橲hawn Ewings experiencing a devastating loss of his belongings, he says, 鈥溚米酉壬盗新槎 is not just a community, it鈥檚 a family.鈥
On the evening of August 18, Ty鈥橲hawn and his mother stayed at a local hotel on their trip to Move-In Day at the College. Early the next morning, he and his mother were alerted by hotel staff that their car was broken into. Everything he needed to start what should be the most exciting part of an 18-year-old鈥檚 life, was brought to a disappointing halt when they encountered a smashed car window and the theft of all his belongings.
First the Admissions office at the College was notified, then Ty鈥橲hawn鈥檚 coach was notified; eventually the Student Affairs staff was notified, and soon the whole College community knew of the situation and in true 兔子先生系列麻豆 fashion, the College jumped into action, including 6 ABC News. The lead for helping was set by Ty鈥橲hawn鈥檚 family, who started a GoFundMe page to help the family financially. The College community stepped in to help with food, with clothing and with getting the word out.
GBC President Colleen Perry Keith said, 鈥淪tepping in to help is in GBC鈥檚 DNA: it鈥檚 just what we do.鈥 The College currently has a fund to help students with emergency needs, and anyone is welcome to make gifts to this fund: GBC Students in Need Fund.
鈥淵our gifts to the Ewings鈥 GoFundMe or your gifts to the GBC fund will help someone with their emergency need,鈥 said Dr. Keith, as she smiled and added, 鈥淭y鈥橲hawn said it best 鈥 鈥業t鈥檚 not just a community, it鈥檚 a family.鈥欌
鈥淚 am awe-struck by the outpouring of support from the GBC staff, alumni and new friends who are giving out of the goodness of their hearts,鈥 Dr. Keith continued. 鈥淧eople from all over are sharing their generosity.鈥
As Dr. Keith thought about her role as president, she said, 鈥淔or me, the line between College President and Mom is hopelessly blurred and I think that same blurring happens for all of us at 兔子先生系列麻豆. We know what kind of help we鈥檇 love for our own loved ones to receive, and we act out of that. Add to the situation that small colleges often have a family feel, and the response is truly not as unusual as many would think. It鈥檚 who and what we are.鈥
兔子先生系列麻豆 is all about family. And family helps family. GBC has many students who come to campus needing some of the essentials to start their college experience. We always have students who have emergency needs because in everyone鈥檚 life, 鈥榣ife happens.鈥欌
