Rose捐款7000給從芝加哥走去DC的反槍枝民 - NBA

Cavaliers PG Derrick Rose donates 7K to man walking from Chicago to DC

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Derrick Rose has donated $7,000 to a man
walking from Chicago to Washington, D.C. to help raise awareness regarding
gun violence, according to Kelly Bauer of DNA Info. Demetrius Nash of
Bronzeville has embarked on the long walk in an attempt to draw attention to
the need for funding for violence protection programs.

Nash was incarcerated at 26 years old for drug trafficking. During his
imprisonment, he spent time thinking about how he could become part of the
solution to Chicago’s problems rather than continuing to being a slice of
the problem. That was when he came up with the idea of the walk.

“When I used to be incarcerated, I would fast and pray on Saturdays,” said
Nash, via Andrea Watson of DNA Info. “I got off federal probation May 24 of
this year, so that was a Wednesday. I prayed that Saturday and asked God what
was next for me. After 12 years of bondage I’m finally free. I woke up
Sunday, tapped my girlfriend and said, ‘Babe, I’m going to walk to
Washington, D.C.'”

Now, Rose is trying to help Nash’s cause.

“We’re proud of all the great work you’re doing to save the youth of
Chicago and providing a framework for at-risk youth for sustainability by
providing training for a trade and mentoring via positive & successful
mentors,” said Rose and his partner, Mieka Blackman-Reese, in a comment on
the campaign’s GoFundMe page. “God bless you with safe travels on your
journey.”

This isn’t the first time Rose has done community work either. The former
Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks point guard has also paid for and attended
funerals of murder victims as well as donating $1 million to After School
Matters.
