Gaining Salvation for Andrew Jackson Houses

Salvation, such that it is described as "the act of saving or protecting from harm, risk, loss, destruction, etc," one could say that Daniel Barber has become the salvation for not only himself, but also for his community and his family. If anyone typed in "Andrew Jackson Houses" into a Google search bar, the first three listings are 1. 53 Indicted on Drug Charges in Sweep of 2 Bronx Housing Projects, written by the New York Times, 2. President Andrew Jackson Houses | Buildings, on the Emporis website, and 3. a Jackson Houses - NYCHA listing on Foursquare. These options are either negative, hard to navigate or incomplete on the site. On the contrary, Danny has a very different story. At the age of six years old, he started attending the Salvation army and by the age of eight, Danny and his family was fully committed. "I started helping everybody out at the Salvation Army at seven, eight years old. My mom and my aunt, they both volunteered over there. They were in charge of feeding the community, the homeless feeding. Then after I got older, I started like volunteering going out on the disaster truck. So, that consist of going to fires, police emergencies, uhm, whenever a situation aroused and like a fire, third alarm fire or something, they would call, Salvation Army would come supply coffee, donuts, uhm, maybe a cup of soup or something to that effect. And I loved, it. I fell in love with it. Once I got like fourteen years old, I got my first job there." Narratives like these, are the ones we're missing.
