A former cop created a program to help Baltimore kids. Now, she's hoping to give them more: a home.

By Theresa Vargas Columnist August 25, 2021, The WAPO/Local

During a drive earlier this week, Phyllis Ali asked the children in the car with her what they wanted to be when they grew up. "An astronaut," said one. "A schoolteacher," said another. A boy replied that he hoped to own "a nice house." "I'm just glad they want to be something," Ali said, reflecting on that drive. "I'm just glad that none of them said, 'I don't know.' They want to be something."

The 68-year-old Baltimore native has spent much of her adult life working with the city's children, and she has seen how people too often write off those who live on blocks with boarded-up buildings. She has also seen what is lost when they do.
