Chicago gang members are among the many coming to the aid of a South Side Chicago that is facing closure due to funding issues.
NBC5 Chicago reports that members of the Black Disciples Gang reached out to the hospital on Monday saying that they wanted to assist because the hospital had saved many of their members and that they and the community deserved a continuing chance to be saved.
“It’s bad enough we’re out here harming each other,” said Don Dirk Acklin, co-founder of the Black Disciples. “But then for the hospital to close that can help people that is innocent and being harmed– that’s genocide.”
