Daily News | Today, they’re all Eagles. Today, they’re 12-1.
REFORM Alliance — along with Meek Mill, the Sixers and the Eagles — gave teens and kids impacted by the criminal justice system the experience of a lifetime on Tuesday.
A day like this means a lot to people like Darlene Edwards, a foster parent to 18-year-old Ramon Lanza, who has been on probation for a year and has another two years ahead of him.“These kids never had this kind of experience, so I’m so happy. Look at him smile!” Edwards said, beaming and recording on her phone as Ramon passed a ball with Meek Mill. “He’s doing what he’s supposed to do [while on probation], he’s a good kid. I love that about him. This is a great Christmas present for him.
Parke finally came home when Amir was 2 years old, and says it took a lot to be able to build a relationship with him, even though her mom always brought him to visit while she was still incarcerated. “It’s hard on kids to feel like, are you permanently here?” she said. “Are you going to go? Are they going to take you away?”Five-year-old Amir was the tiniest attendee at Tuesday’s holiday give back event, but he didn’t let that stop him.
Once the driver blasted the volume on Power 99, and “Rich Flex” by Drake and 21 Savage came on the radio, there were dance battles in the aisle and one chaperone yelled, “I ain’t goin’ to work tomorrow!” Even with the time ticking closer to game time, Rivers took the time to answer each question thoughtfully, and it was clear that every partner and coordinator of the event cared deeply about the community in front of them.
Being a Black man from North Philly who has been to prison because of a probation violation, Mill can speak to what many of the event’s attendees are going through.
