  • You do much for these kids just being where you are, shining your light as far as you can. Do your thing right now, and one day you'll have your own 30 kids, or more, and then maybe a few of those kids will go on as well. Fuck Ayn Rand; a rising tide lifts ALL boats.

  • Bravo Mr. Cunningham,

    you brought hope to 30 young men. One young man, Devon benefited greatly from the hope you brought. There are neighborhoods like this all over America. There are lots of groups of 30 young men. If they're lucky there's a Mr. Cunningham that trying to lift them up and out of these hells. These hells beg the question, why do these hells exist and why do the people in these hells add to the hell that they're in? It just seems that once in, there's no way out. Devon got out.
