A 501c3 Organization
Life as we knew it suddenly changed on February 11, 2008 at approximately 6:45 PM.  Our daughter, Tiffany was tragically killed in an automobile accident while riding with a friend less than a mile from our home. Tiffany loved the Lord and had a personality and smile that could light up the darkest of places. In honor of Tiffany’s life, the Tiffany Thomas Memorial Foundation was established shortly after her death. The organization works to raise funds to help families with financial hardships related to the death and burial of a child, extraordinary medical expenses, or other causes deemed appropriate . Tiffany loved helping others and it is our hope that this Foundation will help light the darkest of places for those who encounter such tragic events.

​BE AWARE OF SAFE TEENAGE DRIVING

One of the biggest milestones in a child’s life is passing his or her driver’s license test and getting a car. For parents, this could be when nerves really start to kick in. Most children are taught by their parents the basics of driving and also, take a driver’s education class. Then, they take a permit test and finally get their license. For most children, it is considered their “ticket to freedom.” There will always be peer pressure from other passengers to go faster or to goof off while driving. Or if alone, there’s always going to be a text coming through, a song they just want to blare or something that falls on the floor that they just have to pick up right away.  All of these have one thing in common… they are distractions that can lead to reckless driving and unfortunately for some, death. It is important to know that when other people are in your vehicle, you are responsible for not only yourself but them too. And when alone, clear out all distractions and focus solely on the road ahead.

Car accidents are most of the time just that— accidents. And sometimes there’s never anywhere to place the blame.  And others, all you want is someone to blame because a child’s life has just been taken. In 2010, 8.7% of teenage drivers who were involved in accidents, ages 16-19, where killed in accidents because of distractions. This may seem like a low number but in Louisiana alone, 149 teenagers were killed due to car accidents in which they were the drivers.

The Tiffany Thomas Memorial Foundation is a proud supporter of safe teenage driving. Tiffany’s accident involved a slight distraction by the driver causing the driver to lose control. What at the time can seem like “no big deal” to teenagers, can in a matter of seconds turn into the biggest deal they have ever encountered.
