Our homes provide us with comfort unlike anything else. They welcome us after a long day of work. They are where we yearn to be by the end of a vacation or business trip. We personalize them in ways big and small; we make them our own. Home is a familiar space where we find privacy from the outside world. But what if you could never leave your home? What if you were unable to walk out your front door? This is the reality for over two million people in the United States. Within These Walls tells the story of people who can’t or don’t leave their homes for a variety of reasons. They’re homebound. Some have been bound by age or illness, and others by their thoughts. You’ll also hear from the people and organizations who pay special attention to homebound populations. We’ll explore the relationship between ourselves and our homes, and how it may change when leaving just isn’t an option.
Over 2 million people in the US are #homebound, either because of terminal illness, fear, or #disability. Suzanne O'Brien is with Doulagivers of New York City. She wants to make it possible for #TerminallyIll people to pass peacefully in their homes. She explains why she is dedicated to making this a reality: #withinthesewalls -- Within These Walls premieres on our Facebook on February 27th, and will be available to stream on WFUVNews.org and you can listen live on 90.7FM

Troy Miller and Freddy “June” Charles Jr. are outreach workers with Release The Grip (RTG), a program under BronxConnect’s Cure Violence initiative. Their role is a step beyond a so-called violence interrupter, which involves former gang members canvassing a neighborhood to share their past with active gang members to prevent violence and gang activity. “Credibility is everything,” Charles said. “If the community doesn’t trust you or feel a certain way about you, this program would never work.” In 2010, Miller lost his 25-year-old brother to a gang murder. These days, Miller shares this experience with young people. “The first thing I want them to do is think about your life because right now life expectancy for these kids is under 25,” Miller said referring to the young adults. “That’s sad because when we were growing up they said we would never live to see past 20 and I’m 41.” Read: http://bit.ly/2BEF8IV Listen: http://bit.ly/2E2N09p **** WFUV News, Norwood News, and @BronxNet Community Television have partnered to bring you a five-part series on gangs in the Bronx and their implications to their communities. #RTG #ReleaseTheGrip #BronxConnnect #CureViolence #BronxConnections #GangImpact
