Soldiers of Hope on Facebook
A mother shares her story about her son that lost his life fighting for our country.
Hope Hollinsworth Coaxum tells us how her then 26 year old son, staff sergeant Courtney Hollinsworth, lost his life in '07 fighting overseas in Iraq.
The family uses this story to encourage others to make a difference by helping people in need, here at home.
Coaxum started a Facebook page called "Soldiers of Hope" for people to have easy access to lend a helping hand. Along with the Facebook page, she has also published four books to help cope with the grieving process.
Yonkers, where the family spent majority of their lives, has been very supportive of the family. They have even dedicated a street name in his honor.
Coaxum's latest book will soon become a play. Parts of the proceeds will go to charity.
