rubdown:
One of my cousins teaches at a school where he gets the “bad” kids who have a lot of emotional problems and they’re all poor (they in Detroit, y’all) and can’t read good and have tumultuous home lives and have been expelled from other schools. My cousin LOVES teaching these kids, he does an AMAZING job, and his stories from the classroom make me cry all the time. His class is raising money so they can take a ballin’ limo to a wonderful ice cream shop in this area called Treat Dreams where they can invent their own ice cream flavors, make it themselves in the shop, help clean up, and enjoy the fruits of their labor, friendship, learning, and teamwork. They’re only going for $650, so I asked him if I could put it up here for help. I’ve never been in a limo and even as an adult, I’d totally shit myself if I got to ride in one to go eat ice cream, so I can’t even imagine how these kids would react. Just think about it. TREAT DREAMS, INDEED.
