Saving Carlos
I cried during my breakfast this morning. I cried for a kid I don't even know. I cried for his family...
On the front page of the Toronto Star today were two stories:
The first -- An 18yr old boy was shot at the funeral of another young shooting victim. There were 300 mourners present.
The second -- The harrowing story of a young shooting victim, Carlos, and his recovery as one of the "lucky ones".
As many of you know, my brother-in-law is one of the "lucky ones". He remains in the hospital, his health improving at a snail's pace. Our hope for his full recovery shining ever so slightly brighter.
Please read Saving Carlos. I guarantee your perspective on gun violence will change. If this story impacts you the way it has me, please pass the link along to someone you know. There's a little activist in everyone.
