After months of commuting by Lyft and bus when her car broke down, beloved Moss Haven Elementary crossing guard Trecia “Ms. Crawford” Crawford kept showing up every day to greet students with smiles, hugs, and her signature reminder that “safety is first.”
When the school’s Dads Club learned what she’d been dealing with, they quietly raised thousands of dollars over several months and surprised her with a white Jeep Cherokee — plus help with insurance and oil changes.
The fathers say Ms. Crawford has become a cherished part of the school community, and the gift was their way of giving back to someone who brightens every family’s morning.
