(By Dan Herbeck – Buffalo News) The focus of Michael S. Taheri’s life for many years was working as a defense attorney, keeping clients out of jail and making money.
He still does all that, but now his life is much different.
He and his wife, Josette, a nurse, spend six days a week as volunteers at St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy in one of Buffalo’s poorest and most crime-ravaged neighborhoods. The mission at 325 Walden Ave. provides food, shelter and educational help to troubled families and individuals.
And $35,000 is being given by Franczyk to his buddies instead of helping people who actually help people…..
As far as I know, St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy does not accept government funds.
Saint Luke’s Mission of Mercy and the Response to Love Center are invaluable in what they do. Instead of the negative things we see in the news, more stories about these kind of places need to be shown.
Andy,
I guess that makes Francyk’s donation of public money to his friends somehow right? I am sure there are other neighborhood places who could have used the money a lot more.
