Title: Remembering Louis Wherry - Community Efforts and Support I've been thinking a lot about the friends and family of Louis Wherry, one of the victims of that awful spike in gun violence back in October 2013 on Chicago's northwest side. I can't imagine the pain they've gone through. Grieving a loved one taken so senselessly must be incredibly difficult, especially when the community's struggle with violence continues. Something that stood out to me during that time was how the neighborhood tried to rally together in the face of such an overwhelming tragedy. There were several local groups that started organizing vigils and community meetings to not just mourn Louis and the others we've lost, but to support the families left behind. I remember reading about initiatives to create safe spaces for kids and young adults to hopefully steer them away from such violence in the future. Does anyone know if these efforts are still ongoing today, or if new initiatives have started in the community? I really hope Louis's family has found some solace in knowing that people are working to prevent others from experiencing the same heartbreak they have. If there's any way to help or get involved, I'd love to hear about it. Sending all my thoughts to everyone affected by this tragedy.
