  Speaker 1: I got this text message on Monday. It said, Hi, Bill,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: this is Phil Yawn. We spoke a couple of years
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: ago about my son Nolan. Now when I talk about this,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you guys will start to remember.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, who was.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: The kid that had collected items from his classmates for
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the road home. I believe he was in the third
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: grade and they came down. He and his dad came
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: down to the road home broadcast a couple of years ago.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: This year, he's come up with something big. He's got
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: big ideas. This is his last year in elementary school.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: If you're interested or have time, if you'd like to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: hear his ideas, please feel free to reach out. Either way,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we plan on being there at the road home, so
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: hopefully we can say hi. Nolan talks about this all year,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: so I appreciate the time that you continue to give him,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: even through the chaos of the event. Well, I called
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Phil and I spoke to him on the phone, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I talked to Nolan, and what Nolan has done is remarkable.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So this is from Phil's Facebook post about the whole thing.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: My son Nolan is seeking your help Facebook friends. For
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: as long as I can remember, he's always loved helping
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the homeless, especially homeless children. Starting in third grade, we
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: decided to participate in the Road Home Media thon on
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: his own. He collected donations from his classmates, gathering items
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: like string cheese you remember this, yeah, yeah, half filled
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: water bottles, coloring books and more. He was so proud
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to make a difference and he gained a lot of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: attention at the event. This led to a relationship with
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the X ninety six Morning Show, and since then it's
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: become our tradition. Now I've tried not to interfere with
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: his project, but this year he asked me for my
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: help because he wants to go big. When I asked
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: him what he meant by go big, he decided he
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: would like to fill a U haul truck with donations.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: He had already secured a U haul truck. This is
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: an elementary school. That kid, yeah, that was generously donated
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to him. So he got you haul. This kid was
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: he in the sixth grade. He got you haul to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: donate a truck that was and now we just need
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to fill it. If you have any items that you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: would like to donate, please reach out to me so
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that we can fill this truck. We plan on complete
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: filling it on the night of December seventeenth, as we
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: want to deliver everything on the morning of the eighteenth
