In High School A friend moved in with us
Here is what can happen when you help young teenagers with dysfunctional homes.
Lasting Impact
Submitted by JB Salganik on October 12, 2010 - 5:05pm.Carla and David helped me get my life on track at a very crucial point in time when I had no one else to turn to. Since then, I have tried to live by their example; fearless in the white light of justice, first as a journalist and then as a public school teacher in Baltimore. In the years since, I have helped hundreds of inner-city kids against all odds become scholars and professionals, many earning total scholarships to elite colleges, all stemming from the love and support the Cohens showed me years earlier. I have also never forgotten for a moment the affection and teamwork between the two of them which I saw for the first time in my life as a guest in their home. In many ways, the model of their marriage formed the basis for my own future happy, loving, and supportive family; breaking a cycle of dysfunction that went back generations. I have no idea where I would be today if I had not met such kind hearted and wise people, but I am sure my life would not be nearly as enjoyable or as helpful to the rest of society as it is.
