In the last New York Mayoral election, I was hoping Guardian Angel Founder Curtis Sliwa would win that race due to the fact that he is street smart and would be able to handle the out-of-control crime in New York. Effectively working with past mayors, police commissioners, and other agencies, he would know how to separate the wheat from the chaff (to judge which people or things in a group are bad and which ones are good). He would also work to make sure that the Bail Reform Law was not abused and used properly. But, what one glaring point that he made is that he would have an immediate investigation of Mayor DeBlasio’s and his wife Chirlane McCray and the over $1 billion that was spent on the “Thrive New York City Program”. It was supposed to be used to help people with mental illness. I’m still waiting for someone in New York to investigate what happened to those funds because they were not used for the purpose intended and seemed to vanish into thin air. Why aren’t DeBlasio and his wife being investigated? Sliwa, if he had won the election had plans to do this.

The Guardian Angels are not only a national organization, but they also have chapters overseas.

Other organizations have been around for a long time because of their reputation of putting their money where their mouth is.I want to talk about organizations that put their money where their mouths are, and they are very easy to Google their works:

The Prison Fellowship: I first heard of this on the Mike Gallagher Show who is on 970 AM The Answer. James Ackermen is the president. They teach prisoners life skills to help them gain so they can be able to get gainful employment.An offshoot of this is also the Angel Tree Project where 10,000 children of incarcerated prisoners received a Christmas present with that parent’s name on it. Mike Gallagher also has started an organization where he helps the families of fallen police officers to help pay for the mortgages or the education for fallen officer’s children.

Also, there are these organizations. Feel free to look up the information to decide if this is where you want to contribute money to or be a volunteer to be a part of.
