“Years of planned disinvestment in our communities has resulted in poor housing, lack of quality education in the schools, inadequate and lack of job opportunities all contribute to these social issues.
Dr Abbey with Mark Levine Manhattan Boro President
Sadly, these issues foster gang related activity, easy access to illegal handguns and now ghost guns, and all too often, the killing of our youth.”

Giving them a strong foundation and a sense of self-worth, gives them a fighting chance to aspire to higher goals than those that they too often use as examples of role models.
