Dover– The Delaware State Police Troop 3 “Trooper Youth Program” provided a Dover family a little Christmas cheer this evening, December 21, 2018.

The Trooper Youths provided gifts to a family that recently experienced the tragedy of losing their home to a house fire.  With the majority of their personal belongings being destroyed in the fire, the members of the Trooper Youth program sought to provide needed clothes and toys to the family.

Rose Murphy and her three children, Chase age 10, Layla age 9, and Cole age 5 enjoyed opening some of the gifts with the Troop Commander, Captain Joshua A. Bushweller and Cpl. Carl Batson, who leads the Trooper Youth Program.  Members of the Trooper Youth Program included Faith Brien, Tyron Samuels, and Talley Ridgeway.

Captain Bushweller stated, “I am extremely humbled and proud of Cpl. Batson and these young members of the Trooper Youth Program for their compassion and commitment to helping others in the community. This family experienced a horrible tragedy and today made their life a little bit better …. and seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces was priceless.”
