                     RECOGNIZING ERIN CARTER-HARVEY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GUS M. BILIRAKIS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 16, 2024

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
unique contributions made in our community by one of my constituents, 
Erin Carter-Harvey, for her efforts with Steele Tryin', a non-profit 
that organizes events and support for those in the community who are 
struggling. Most recently, she organized a ``drive-by honking'' where 
droves of cars paraded past the house of a local child who was dying of 
cancer. The activity lifted his spirits. She has also helped single 
moms who are struggling financially with getting their yards mowed for 
free. Part of what makes our country so great is the willingness of 
ordinary Americans to go above and beyond to selflessly give back to 
others. Volunteerism is one of the cornerstones of our society and part 
of the fabric that unites us.
  It is clear that Ms. Carter-Harvey has made a profoundly positive 
impact on our community, and I am grateful for her service.
