Texas' Top Two Youth Volunteers Selected in 17th Annual National Awards Program

)--Nicholas Cobb, 15, of Allen and Leah Prager, 13, of Dallas today were named Texas' top two youth volunteers for 2012 by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism. Nicholas was nominated by Allen High School in Allen, and Leah was nominated by Frankford Middle School in Dallas. The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, now in its 17th year, is conducted by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).

Nicholas, a sophomore at Allen High School, has been volunteering to help the homeless for more than 10 years, and most recently formed a nonprofit organization that has raised more than $20,000 to buy coats for 385 homeless families in his community. “When I was 4, I saw a family living under a bridge and wondered why they were there,” said Nicholas. “My parents explained that they were homeless, and I just couldn’t understand how that could be.” Since then, Nicholas has been working to make life easier for people who have fallen on hard times. “I have researched homelessness and know that it could happen to anyone,” he said.

Nicholas began with small projects such as collecting toiletries and organizing a community supply drive. He then decided that he wanted to do something that would have more long-term effects, such as helping people stay warm. He did all the research and filed the paperwork for his organization and then built a website. Nicholas solicited donations, assembled a team of volunteers and organized fundraisers such as email campaigns, car washes, penny drives and a golf tournament. He also applied for grants, won cash awards, obtained matching funds from companies, and persuaded a national coat chain to let him buy coats at a discount. Nicholas now is focusing on providing suits for the homeless to wear to job interviews, as well as book stipends for homeless students going off to college. Of his efforts, Nicholas said. “There is so much need in the world. You can’t really feel bad or sad about anything when you are doing something to help someone else.

The title of this blog reflects my attitude toward those government agencies and insurance companies that routinely mistreat injured or disabled people. As a Dallas, Texas lawyer, I've spent almost 40 years trying to help those poor folk, and I have been frustrated daily by the actions of the people on the other side of their claims. (Sorry if I offended you...)
