A community (known as “The Blood Corner”) stuck between rival gangs suffering from drugs, prostitution, violence, and at one point had the highest daytime crime in all of Los Angeles. John and Vera Mae Perkins heard about this place as they were considering retirement and decided to move in there and help create change to society. Through the years they had to endure mountains of challenges but they were able to stabilize the community. The next challenge was to start the healing process, starting with who suffers the most - the kids. A troubled neighborhood just outside of Los Angeles. Highest daytime crime rate. One person heard about it and decided to bring about change, for the kids to grow to become strong, intelligent individuals.
