Earn Those Wings: Reach Detroit

Look at this picture. See how gloomy this picture is? Do you see the tragic ruins of a place that once must have held promise? Take a guess as to where this is.

Did you guess Detroit? Well, perhaps or perhaps not. Detroit was named one of the most dangerous cities in the US, filed for bankruptcy and this picture is one of many similar photographs that I could have shown.

This webpage really contains all the information about Detroit and what I am trying to promote, so I won't go into it doubly. But I would just like to say a few things, encouraged donation to revive Detroit, a city badly in need of a revival.

For all of us Americans, Detroit is like our cousin. It's part of the US, therefore, we are connected to it. We see all these gory images about ruins that exist all over the world, but what about the ones that exist where we live. Detroit is not the only city facing crime and poverty, but it's a great place to start. We need to fix these problems. Even for those who don't live in America, this is a serious problem. Sitting here in my nice suburban house is easy. But what about those people who can't do that? What about those people who are held up at gunpoint and it takes the police an hour to address the situation because they're so busy? We have to think about those people! Not everyone who is reading this has the means to donate, but if you do, please think about those people who need your help.

They NEED your help. Help them.
