Yo Mr. Cube,
I am writing to you with a heart-wrenching story. My company provides services to people with special needs. I have recently run across a beautiful sad 7 year old boy, with a serious developmental disability.
Recently, overnight, the boy’s caregiver died of pneumonia overnight. This left him in a state of grief with a disability that will not let him express himself at his young age in a constructive way.
The boy loves to dance and move, particularly to your music. It actually livens him up and calms him down. He would love nothing more than to dance all day. This boy is challenged not only by his disabilities, but having to go to school in a very urban environment which causes him to act out.
I have an idea to regain his beautiful smile, if you could take a little time out of your busy schedule to go get down with him at school, it would lift his spirits and leave memories that would last a lifetime.
As for me, I am 31 and I own my own business. I have a physical disability called Cerebral Palsy and have been going to college perusing a career and I deal with my own disability on a daily basis. I have lost people in my life before, role models, good friends, and yes, like this little boy, I have lost a few care-givers. There is no real description to the grief. Except to say, that you lost someone who has helped you out and you will never get a chance to see them or to talk to them again.
From your music and your lyrics, I know that you know about death and dying in the African American Community. In all my years of doing this type of work, I see no one better than you as a role model for this child.
Please help him,
Nicholas Feldman
