Pete Kadens, Chicago Hope, one billion to this foundation, wonderful, what a great start, will be interesting to see the progress made for these kids.

Sad that these kids are better off going elsewhere for education at high school age than living at home with parents.

One parent will get free college also, wow!

And what about the rest of the United States??? Do they also get free salary, free room and board, free lunch, free clothes, free foreign SUV, might as well throw in free house with free utilities. O and health care also.

Agree, public education probably the worst place to try to lean something.

Actually, AFTER kids graduate High School their free college etc. has been donated by philanthropist thru Chicago Hope, sorry for confusion.

Some posters jump to conclusions to spout their own agendas.

Are you a product of America's public school education? I am. It can be done well and produce excellent compassionate students capable of critical thinking. It takes money and it takes community support.

The organization is Hope Chicago, not Chicago Hope. Read about the program HERE

These are students in the Chicago Public Schools. Read the article. Feel the enthusiasm.

Good to see that trade schools are included.

Sad that you made the conclusion about their family life without any knowledge of the actual people and their circumstances. Sad indeed…..

Sad that you assume their family life is good.

A culture that does not value education will not take advantage of this donation.

Maybe you can create a “Go fund me” page for the rest of the US, since I doubt you would want any gov programs to help them. Your compassion for others is overwhelming. Maybe find joy for those that are so lucky to receive such a blessing, instead of going negative.
