Deidra’s Gift: Free School Supplies Distributed In Century
August 3, 2014
Free schools supplies were available Saturday in Century for 300 children in need, thanks to a family honoring the memory of one of their own, in a program called “Deidra’s Gift”.
The book bags full of supplies were distributed in memory of Dedria Robinson, who was killed in 2005 in an automobile accident at age 11.
‘We wanted to help as many children as we could in her memory,” Deidra’s mother Rita Robinson said. “It’s good to see them get the supplies they need.”

This is a very sweet and caring thing! Deidra always had a beautiful smile on her face and I am sure that these children had that same smile as they picked up their back packs full of supplies! May God bless you guys!
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT THING. I KNOW THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY ARE VERY GREATFUL
I agree with Clint! And remembering your daughter locally will keep her memories alive among the children and families of the community. God Bless you and your family.
What a Great way to remember your daughter.
