Mentored two young men in SoCal (one black, one white) that were living in Section 8 housing with grandma (mom in jail, dads gone). Turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life, both are doing well now. Grandma was the biggest reason as she allowed no excuses or complaining. I provided them a male perspective and just did what my dad did with me. P.S. They had to do work and help in the community and then we had fun. Anyway....
Props to you! (for those that don’t know what props means, it’s a new contraction for “Proper Respect.”) My kids had to tell me what it meant.
