Meet the 2016 Honorees 

Andre McDonnell: One day in 2012, after playing basketball with friends, I spotted a homeless man with no shoes on his feet. A sense of urgency came over me that nudged my soul to take action.  This nudge prompted me to take the sneakers off my feet, and offer them to this gentleman.  Feeling the gravel under his feet, nothing compared with the immense gratitude he experienced with this small act of kindness, as he returned a smile.  At that point, I realized there are many unfortunate people similar to his man, without so much as a decent pair of shoes.  I knew in my heart there had to be something more I could do to make their walk through life a little easier.

Carl Joseph & Antonio Sterling: Jericho Road Inc. is a 501 ( c ) 3 community based organization that is the vision of Dr. Elena Bascom, a survivor of domestic violence (DV).  Due to her experience as a child and as a victim of domestic violence, Dr. Bascom began outreach work to help other women who were in similar situations.  Through this journey, Jericho Road Inc. Was born. The group operated simply as volunteers in North Brooklyn for several years as an incorporated entity and an unregistered organization.  They have conducted several community-based projects geared to meeting the needs of the people.  However, the helping of family members, especially those who are victims of domestic violence, is now the organization’s immediate focus.
