mashrou3-ummi: bellezacaribena: nprfreshair: Ameena Matthews is a former gang member who now enters Chicago’s most dangerous neighborhoods and mediates disputes before they erupt into violence. When Matthews was heavily involved in gang activities, it was her Muslim faith, her children and grandmother who served as her own violence interrupters: “[My grandmother] would step in the middle of raids, asking, ‘Where’s Ameena?’ Guns were drawn and she’s not even looking at the guns or the gas that was thrown in the building to smoke us out, she’s yelling my name and telling me to get my behind out. … She was there.” Please pray for sister Ameena as battles cancer. There has been a gofundme set up to help cover her medical expenses and bone marrow transplant. I am currently on my phone and unable to link to the fund, but if you Google her name it will come up. Keep her in your duaat Please donate, she’s such an amazing person
