Family turns East Cleveland motel into housing for football mentorship program.
James Howard, and his wife Veronica, approached the motel owner this spring and asked to lease out the property.“We are thankful definitely for the owners of this establishment for allowing us to bring this concept here,” said Veronica.
“Honestly, it means a lot to me because I didn’t know what I was going to do after high school and Coach Howard exposed all my weaknesses, but now all those weaknesses have become my strengths,” said Desmond Copeland, a Howard Huskies football player. “It’s just a great opportunity to be able to serve the Lord and be able to help these young men reach their goals and dreams,” said Howard.
