ABC’s 20/20 aired two inspiring stories Sunday, April 11, shining the national spotlight on two pillars of the Inglewood community.
00First was a feature on Rev. Donald Bell’s “Sister, I’m Sorry” program in which men from his congregation help soothe the pain of women who have beed abused during their life. “Sister, I’m Sorry” is growing in popularity around the country, and Rev. Bell pioneered the program in Inglewood.
00The second feature told the story of Joe Wolfson, a local body boarder who was suffering from cancer and tried to end his life by drowning. He was rescued by a group of middle school students who later wrote to him with messages of hope. He was so moved that he sought treatment at Centinela Hospital Medical Center in Inglewood. His condition has stabilized and he is now living in Mexico and surfing everyday.
