She is also a survivor of the Pulse Nightclub shooting that took place in Orlando, Florida, on June 12th, the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. History since 9/11.
Along with the pleasure of meeting former President Barack Obama, Patience has sat down
with a countless number of U.S. officials to speak about gun control, terrorism, and mental
health issues in America. In recognition of her determined efforts to raise awareness and make
changes, she was selected by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs to be the Victim
Representative for a hearing in 2016. Mayor Joseph P. Ganim awarded Patience with the Key
to the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut. She also received a special recognition certificate from
Connecticut's Senator, Richard Blumenthal, for her extraordinary dedication and exemplary
efforts to reduce violence. The Teen Choice Awards presented Patience with their Courage
Award in 2016. And last but not least, Congressman Charles B. Rangel of New York has
recognized July 31, 2016 as "Patience Carter Day." Patience continues to speak out about her
experience, and hopes to do her part to make our shared world a better place.ver menos
