🚗 Today, I spoke to the founder of an inspiring nonprofit and interviewed a mother in Spanish who relies on their services to attend doctor’s appointments for her daughter with disabilities. ‘Serving the community’: Nonprofit organization provides reliable transportation to essential medical care CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) — A Lowcountry nonprofit organization received a $20,000 grant to continue serving the community by providing necessary transportation to and from essential medical care. The organization, The Way There and Back, partners with several local charities to provide rides at no cost to marginalized communities throughout the area. Their mission is to end the transportation gap for people who need to get to medical appointments and other necessities like groceries and picking up their medicine. They have provided hundreds of rides over the past year, including eight rides for five individuals who traveled over 120 miles in just over six hours. With a $20,000 grant from the Roper Saint Francis Physicians Endowment, they say their work can expand to help more individuals and families.

is this what HEAVEN is like because it’s such a TREASURE I’m ready to RISK IT ALL for 🥀

(WCSC) — Amber Steele wears a tattoo reading “Never a victim, always a fighter” over where a bullet went through her back in 2017 at the McDonald’s off Ashley Phosphate Road.

🔫 Ever wondered how first responders train for active shooter incidents? Find out in my latest story! Several agencies participate in active shooter exercise at USC Walterboro campus WALTERBORO, S.C. (WCSC) — Multiple local agencies and dozens of staff and students participated in an active shooter exercise on the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie Walterboro campus on Friday. Rural communities typically have limited resources to work with, so the goal of the drill is to train and prepare for situations like this, evaluate the way they react and figure out improvements. This is the first active shooter exercise on the campus and officials say it took about a year to prepare for. The simulation consisted of responding law enforcement, attending to victims and even a helicopter bringing one of the victims to a nearby hospital.

🥩🚗 This Lowcountry man trades his BBQ for cars and then gives them away to people in need. Find out more about his mission below! Lowcountry foundation donates 151st car in mission to close transportation gap AWENDAW, S.C. (WCSC) — A McClellanville man has become a hometown hero by trading barbecue for cars and then repairing them to donate to families in rural parts across the Palmetto State. Eliot Middleton has made it his mission to provide vehicles to residents in rural areas that often don’t have access to transit services through Middleton’s Village to Village Foundation. Once he receives a donated car, he begins repairs out of his Georgetown repair shop and then finds a person in need. “Making it independent for folks with transportation is just one of my goals that I would love to be able to see continue on,” Eliot Middleton, founder of Middleton’s Village to Village Foundation, said. “Transportation is the key to every situation. If you’re inspired to be a doctor, a doctor has to drive to the hospital. If you’re inspired to be an aircraft mechanic or aircraft pilot, you have to be able to commute there. Everything starts off with transportation.” Middleton says it’s part of him closing the gap. “Generational gaps as far as wealth and as far as being able to excel in a career all starts off with transportation,” he says. “So if you don’t have transportation, it’s difficult.”
