Support James Williams' Saving Our Sons Program

Hello friends! Thanks for taking the time and thanks for considering donating your hard earned money to a worthy cause.

As many of you know, I am a resident of Chicago & social causes/justice is something that is near and dear to me. As such, I created this GoFundMe to raise funds for at-risk youth on Chicago’s south and west sides. Saving our Sons is the name of the program. Over the past 6 years, I’ve had the privilege to work with Fr. Pfleger, Sr. Pastor of St. Sabina, and I have seen first hand his passions for social justice & ending gun violence. Every time I meet with him and others associated with his church, I am moved beyond measure to do something, to help in any way I can. By giving, we can help them get SOS back up and running because the need is so great. Here’s a brief snapshot of Saving our Sons’ mission:

Saving our Sons is a male mentoring program that serves 30 males a year between the ages of 12-17. This mentoring program serves 15 males for six months per cohort. The ARK’s staff strategically recruits males in need of direction, guidance, support, and positive role models. Teens looking for a second chance or searching for a way to overcome situations at school, home, and in their neighborhood. SOS Mentoring connects youth to positive adult mentors, provides life skill discussions, one-on-one coaching, exposes them to cultural opportunities and field trips, and connects them to resources for summer internships and/or employment that will positively impact their future decisions.

Every dollar helps! Every dollar raised will go directly to the program. All monies raised will be delivered directly to Fr. Mike Pfleger in the form of a check. It is our goal to restart the program in September 2024. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I’m eternally thankful and grateful for your support! God Bless!
