The Malik Adam James Foundation participated in the Honey Brook Church in Fellowship luncheon on April 7th after church service.
The Foundation for Safe Communities made a significant contribution to PS178 in Brooklyn, NY last week by donating a truck full of school supplies. As an organization, our dual mission involves both supporting local communities and leading the fight against gun violence. The recent events surrounding PS178 have only deepened our commitment to these goals.
A Vital Contribution
When our delivery truck rolled into PS178, it wasn’t just carrying pencils, notebooks, and backpacks; it was carrying a message of hope and unity. The supplies were delivered to those students who needed them, emphasizing that no matter the circumstances, we believe in every child’s potential.
Educational support is one of the pillars of our foundation, and we’re always ready to step in when schools reach out to us. We’re not just about supplying materials; we’re about fostering environments where children can thrive.
A Coincidental Tragedy
Just a few days after our donation, PS178 experienced a gun incident. Though it was unrelated to our visit, it underscored the urgency of our mission to combat gun violence. The incident has reinforced our resolve to work tirelessly towards a safer future for our children.
The supplies we delivered symbolize much more than educational tools; they represent our commitment to nurturing a peaceful environment for learning and growth. Our foundation is deeply engaged with schools like PS178, where we can make a genuine difference.
A Call for Support
Our work is far from over, and the need for support is more pressing than ever. While we have made significant strides in both education and the fight against gun violence, we need more funds to expand our efforts.
We are reaching out to everyone who shares our vision of a safe and thriving community. We are running out of funds, and the time to act is now. Your contribution can make a difference in our ongoing efforts to service more schools and continue our relentless fight against gun violence.

In today’s fast-paced world, we find ourselves in the midst of a turbulent storm, one that’s riddled with an alarming surge of gun violence. It’s a public health crisis that spans coast to coast, leaving a trail of inconsolable grief and unimaginable loss. As everyday citizens, we bear witness to these tragedies and we’re left questioning — when does it stop? When do we say enough is enough? The Malik Adam James (MAJ) Foundation is a beacon of hope and action in this tumultuous storm, born out of a profound tragedy that forever changed the fabric of our society.
Our journey began on a heartbreaking day, February 14, 2009. It was a day when heaven embraced an angel, our beloved Malik Adam James, and left us on earth with a wound so deep, it seemed impossible to heal. The unfortunate casualty was a direct consequence of reckless firearm use on the poignant streets of Coney Island. As a society, we were handed an eternal heartache, a grim reminder of the repercussions of uncontrolled gun violence.
Fast forward to the same date, eight years later, we found ourselves revisiting the haunting reality of our loss. A mass shooting at a high school in Florida ripped through the hearts of the nation, claiming 17 innocent lives. The shockwaves of this catastrophe reverberated through our collective conscience, reinforcing the urgency for substantial change, both immediate and future-focused.
There is no denying that we are living in a reality where loss due to gun violence has become frighteningly commonplace, an unacceptable norm. Our collective inaction, our tolerance of this status quo is a discredit to our humanity. It is high time we shake off our apathy and actively work towards transformation!
At the MAJ Foundation, our mission is twofold. First, to illuminate the catastrophic effects of irresponsible firearm usage; and second, to work relentlessly to end this misuse. We wish to reclaim February 14th, a date that is meant to be a universal symbol of love and compassion. It’s our collective responsibility to ensure that this day is no longer marred by bloodshed and tears.
America is facing a crisis that not only jeopardizes the safety of its citizens, but threatens the very essence of our humanity. Our resolve, therefore, should be unshakeable. Together, we must strive to create an environment where gun violence is not tolerated.
We invite you to join us on this mission of monumental importance. Your donation to the Malik Adam James Foundation can play a critical role in promoting change and curbing the rising tide of gun violence. It’s a pledge towards a safer, more compassionate future. It’s your opportunity to be part of a movement that seeks to eradicate the gun violence epidemic, preserving the sanctity of life and the security of our communities.
Let’s stand together, firm in our resolution, to make gun violence a tragic relic of our past. Donate today and help the Malik Adam James Foundation lead the charge towards a future free from the devastating impact of gun violence.
