Question from Alebrijea on Instagram: How can we help you? If you had to ask a favor from the people from Chicago, what would it be.
Reply from My Block, My Hood, My City founder and CEO Jahmal Cole
I would ask, I would challenge Alebrijea on this question as well, and say what's something simple you can do that will have a positive effect in your block. What's something simple you can do that will have a positive impact in your block.
Can you shovel snow for a neighbor
Can you put a note on that bullet-proof glass window
Can you say hello to somebody
What's something simple you can do to create a ripple of hope on your block, because if you create a ripple of hope on your block, she creates a ripple of hope on her block, that's a whole wave of change in Chicago, so I put the question back on you. How can you help me, what's something simple you can do on your block that will make a difference
