Chapter 656

• Ben chuckled, seeing the curiosity in the eyes of the three women. He held up his hands in surrender. "Ok, I'll spill some details. Please note that this plan is a work in progress and much depends on information I'm waiting on from my lawyer, Walter Greyson." He received nods from the women. "Here goes. I'm considering a new initiative, setting up a foundation to support young people who are struggling to extract themselves from the cycle of poverty and misfortune; people who are trying to make something of their lives.

These kids need access to speak with people who can offer them relevant advice to help them heal and get their heads on straight, so they'll have a chance to achieve their goals. I'll need advice and expertise to support this effort."
