Gang-related violence claimed two more Des Moines youth this week. This time, it felt different.Eighteen-year-old Gionni Dameron and 16-year-old Rashad Carr were killed at “Starts Right Here." R&B and Hip-Hop artist Will Keeps launched the nonprofit education center to help at-risk youth reach their full potential. And this week, the violence Will has been working to stop showed up at the door of his organization.Now, two of the young people he was helping are lost. Another young person is behind bars. And Will is still recovering from the gunshot wounds he suffered trying to intervene. Last year, we had the privilege of seeing Will’s work firsthand. As Will took KCCI through his facility, it was crystal clear he had poured his heart, soul and personal resources into creating a place where these young people can feel valued. You see it in the classrooms, the kitchen and the area created just for his students to have fun. As we talked, his love for the kids was obvious. His passion for making a difference in our community was clear.Will even had a traditional front porch re-created inside the facility. As Will tells it, the front porch is where all the meaningful and memorable conversations happen. Days like Monday remind us of the importance of the work of Starts Right Here and Will Keeps. And that’s where we come in. Will is on the road to recovery, but he can’t do this work alone. Let’s lock arms with him and support him on this important mission.Will, thank you for your commitment. We’re praying for a swift and full recovery.
