Two lots where abandoned homes once sat in Cleveland have been
turned into urban parks dedicated to one of the women held captive in
the neighborhood for a decade.
The parks are near the home of kidnap victim Gina DeJesus on the west
side of Cleveland. Planners tell WOIO-TV 19 that turning the areas into
parks will help DeJesus and her family heal from the emotional wounds
caused by her long captivity.
Neighbors are happy because they say the abandoned homes attracted
crime. All the resources to build the parks were donated. The dedication
was Aug. 10.
DeJesus, Amanda Berry and Michelle Knight escaped from Ariel Castro’s
home in May 2103. Castro pleaded guilty last August and committed
suicide in prison.
I am in aw at how you three amazing women are moving on with your lives following the horrendous things that happened to you. I can not even begin to imagine the nightmare you have lived through. Your courage is an inspiration to all women that against all odds, if you have the will you can survive anything..........
ReplyDeleteI am glad that they are helping the women heal from this crime and give all us women something to smile about!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it just for her & not the 3 of them? & its not 2103 ;)
