Meet Joyce Chapman Community Grant Awardee Cassandra Ma
Over 95% of the kids that we work with were trafficked at age 13 or younger. Almost 99% of our kids have histories of sexual abuse prior to being trafficked. No child should have to endure the first incident, but absolutely not the subsequent revictimization that occurs.

Meet Joyce Chapman Community Grant Awardee John Martin
We expected age, sex, and BMI to be contributors [to back pain], but we found that the top 2 out of 1000+ variables were income and education. Now my research group focuses on how social determinants of health are related to spine disease and low back pain.
Humans of Chicago: Wayne Cauthen
Let’s judge our being one of the top cities in the world by how many people in our city are not helpless, how much of our population doesn’t need drastic help, and how many people have food within walking distance. If we could do that, I think we would be one of the top cities in the world.
