I have heard of the Homeboy Industries, and your wonderful blog post is great at informing and enlightening those folks who have not heard of this, I thank you for this great posting! I appreciate hearing of how the strong and creatively brilliant former gang members are not being treated as throw away people just because of their past life and activities. I think that the advocacy with Homeboy Industries and Homegirl Cafe is fantastic, and I like how the great emphasis is on jobs and not jails, this is so preciously and seriously needed! I plan on continuing to support these endeavors <br />in a general and on a financial level. I like the great advocacy which Fr. Boyle does with such care, diligence, sincerity, and sensitivity! My heart was brightened so much by reading this superb post of yours, Shelly!<br /><br />I thank you so dearly and so kindly, Shelly, and all of our other super and progressive white antiracist people! What each and every one of you gives with such care, sensitivity, and diligence means so, so much to me as the black/African-American woman who I am, and immensely increases my faith, hope, and optimism! Blessings so, so much to you for always, Shelly!<br /><br />Sincerely always,<br /><br />Sherry GordonSherry Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019310093116054897noreply@blogger.com
