Ok #ShowmeaHero, we pray for the former Mayor of Yonkers..having worked with the city for more than 20 years, the great city of Yonkers, I remember when heard about the fines and lawsuits…hearing about it was very sad.

When I came to yonkers and we started to create home ownership there, on Willow, on Porach and Walnut, a District Attorney, my friend stated, stay off of the tree streets…for more than 25 years I am honored to work on the tree streets.

Heres my call, having worked in Mulford, in Cottage, in Schlobaum, on School street, taking families..

Ownership for all those families needs to happen now…I hated the lawsuit and saw millions not go into homes. I want to end poverty in my lifetime and theirs. We have created whole neighborhoods, from nothing to new. We have taken buried rubble that former contractors got paid for to haul away, and rebuilt. We have cleaned up streets, hired great people, from the hood, started the Habitat Fire Marching Band, created community gardens, been threatened for cleaning up areas, pulled bullets out of homes, built for Veterans like Ivan, who just wants the American Dream for his family…seen one of our family members killed in a rental apartment and now lives in a  safe Habitat home and neighborhood…helped start a Charter school..rehabbed other non charter schools….Show me a hero…I thank all the volunteers who are my heroes..who have helped us with millions ofdollars of donation to the neighborhoods and our donors…because of you we continue! God bless you!
