It’s sad to see people hired to stand tall and be good fail. Seems there is way too much of that happening these days. Everyone that cares about the Bronx; and their fellow men and women, need to get out there and demonstrate that YES YOU DO CARE. You don’t need to save the whole world,God is doing that, but save a little part of the Bronx. Show the country YOU DO CARE!!🙂
