Erase the Past

ERASE THE PAST HAS GIVEN 4,000 FORMER GANG MEMBERS & YOUTH AT-RISK

A 2ND CHANCE & CONTINUES TO CHANGE LIVES




Dr. Bryna Kane begins every ERASE THE PAST free clinic with a circle of healing that offers former gang members a second chance at a fresh start by literally erasing their gang-related tattoos with the latest high-tech lasers modern medicine and technology have developed. Former gang members and youth at-risk must agree to complete community service in order to participate in the program. These tattoos often stigmatize these young people and mark them for life, making it difficult or impossible for them to leave the gangs behind, obtain jobs and turn their lives around with gang symbols seared across their faces, hands, arms and bodies. Erase the Past has been going strong for 10 years since it was founded by Dr. Bryna Kane and Dr. Edward Glassberg to help the Long Beach, CA community. The doctors have helped 4,000 former gang members and at-risk youth between the ages of 14 & 25 and have turned painful pasts into fresh starts.
