About Me

Northside foundation was founded in August of 2007 while I was sitting and watching my son read about the new coins he bought at the coin store. I was thinking that I am blessed to have a son who can appreciate something other than the normal. With that I was also thinking he is blessed to have a father who can spend time with him and help him research the coins he has.I remember growing up on the Northside of Kansas City and playing with my friends while my mom worked hard at Jackson County Circuit Court; she endured prejudice everyday and over and over turned the other cheek.While mom was at work my sisters and I had to take care of each other and that meant I was basically on my own?; I would go to Salvation Army, Della C Lamb, Guadalupe Center, Don Bosco and the Parade Park Center. I would sign myself up to participate in Football, Basketball, Baseball and field Trips.You see I didn’t want to bother my mom with helping me with these things because she worked so hard to provide me with the best that she could. Although she made time for he kids we knew how tired she really was so I took things into my own hands to provide what I would call that male figure in my life. This was important because I used these facilities to getaway when I had trouble and they saved my life.My mother Marcia Williams was the foundation to where I am today but the community centers were my father figure when I needed them.To my mother Marcia Williams I love you and thank, you for everything you have done for me in my life; with out you there would be know Man to provide for my son, with out you there would be no sensitive man to know how to treat a woman. Thank you and God bless you.

My Interests

If I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven?I must be strong And carry on, 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven.Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven?I'll find my way Through night and day, 'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven.Time can bring you down, Time can bend your knees. Time can break your heart, Have you begging please, begging please.Beyond the door, There's peace I'm sure, And I know there'll be no more Tears in heaven...

I'd like to meet:

My inspiration is all in my foundation; my inspiration comes from my beautiful mother, my inspiration flows through my beautiful son Miles. What is my inspiration; it is the kids/teen that put there heads down at lunch time when all the other kids have food to eat? It's the kid that struggle to read and fit in; it's the father that can't seem to get it right when it comes to seeing his kids. It’s a mother that had to go on government assistance, it's the beautiful heart touching music that a stranger we don’t even know blesses us with; it’s my heavenly father that allows me to do what I do for everyone else. My life surrounded by all this inspiration yet it's so hard when you see that you could have done more. I may not be all I can be today but I'm one more step further along than I was yesterday. Send me a message and tell me what your inspiration is?http://www.projectplaylist.com/playlist/additem/41031http ://www.projectplaylist.com/playlist/additem/1583167

Need 2 Read I’ve noticed that kids take on the characteristics of what is around them rather it is Mom, Dad or Television; What do we see on television other that violence, verbal slang in the videos and very negative influences. My goal with Need 2 Read is to aid in teaching our kids speak properly, hear properly and focus. Reading can teach them those fundamentals and provide a great foundation for their future. As parents we should encourage our kids to read a paragraph in a book at least three times weekly. Need 2 Read collects books of purpose, books of adventure and books of moral values; please donate to this program in any way you see fit.

Movies:

Peer to Peer Growing up in the 70's and 80's it was a common practice to get into a scuffle (key word scuffle) with that said we would be playing ball with that same person that called my mother a scrunchy head! What got us to the point of fighting was not even important because we stood their right in front of each other and talked it out. In most cases we just needed to let off some steam and who better to pick a fight with that your own friend. Well that’s not the rule of thumb for today; get a gun, do a drive by or be jumped by a gang of people; this act of cowardness is common and getting worse with each passing day.Peer to Peer provides an outlet for the youth of today to be able to talk thing out rather it's over a fight, girlfriend, boyfriend, school work, teacher, parents with exceptions; or just minor disagreements that you want to resolve. I am a believer that life’s lessons are the best teacher and the counselors I work with are not just certified but experienced individuals that grew up on the streets and found that exit to a better safer life. Our ideal to resolve any issue is to bring you together with the opponent and talk through with a reasonable end. This is a free service.

My son was playing with his Transformers today and looked up at me only to say he loves me; I said why and he said because you are just a good father. Of course I teard up and said I love you too son. Then I thought about how so many young boys and girls don’t have father figures in their lives; I guess my point to writing this is to encourage those fathers and men who don’t have kids to be present in some young child’s life. They only desire security that someone is there to talk to or simply hold when they are hurting.I am by far not the best Dad but I know that I live for my son and no matter what this world have to offer me good or bad I am strong and live as an example for my kid. Stand up men and be men; It's so rewarding to know that these beautiful innocent kids are looking up to you and you have great influence in their lives and what they can become in there future.With this I leave you with a short poem that is really just words from my son to me.I get in my car to drive off in a storm - My son says can we pray before we pull off.I walk by a homeless man and ignore him like he is nothing - My son reminds to help him and as long as my heart is right it doesn’t matter what he spends it on.When I lost my job and couldn’t pay child support - My son said but you do all you can for me and its ok daddy.My son once said that his dreams are his prayers and that I am in all of his dreams, thank you Miles Daddy loves you for that.When I argue with his mom -My son reminds me that I am his role model and all the things that he knows and loves came from my influence.Nelson how I miss you so much, yes they were twins; the day you went to heaven saddened me so much - Miles My son reminds me that Nelson kicked breath in to him so that he can live on.Miles you are my best friend, my joy in sorrow, my tear for a dry eye and I love you for all you have done for me, with out you; my last 10 years would have been lonely, thank you son and I pray that we will forever be Father & SonA child shall lead us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
