"But, I'm here. I'm standing. I'm talking. I'm hugging. I'm giving love. I did cry with a couple people. Just letting them know they're not alone, that's all they need to know."On August 4, 2019, Green was in the Oregon District enjoying a night out with his father when a gunman opened fire."At the beginning, like this, and at the end is when survivors have to be a part of other survivors," said Green. "When the resources leave, and the funerals happen and the families leave, and now they're stuck living a new life in a new life without knowing or having directions on where to go or stuff like that."COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE | Oregon District shootingGreen’s father, Derrick Fudge, was among those killed, and now every mass shooting hits home.
