My primary goal is to stop or decrease Philadelphia’s violence and help people in need. My reason for helping is that after April 3, 2000, I knew I was not an ordinary child anymore. I got shot in the back of the head near my Mt. Airy home. I was in a coma for a month, wheelchair for two years. I faced challenges in my life. I have learned to overcome many obstacles.
I earned my college degree, I am a motivational speaker, a full-time father of 5, a loving, supportive husband with a non-profit organization, and a full-time job with the government telling you the violence needs to stop.
Although I am a survivor and have a great story to share, my city does not always have great stories. I come before you with a call-to-action. I am the founder of The McClain Foundation; However, we believe our efforts would go even further with your support.
Hence, I request you to donate to The Oronde McClain Foundation.
