Innovative Wellness is one of many businesses that have been vandalized and looted in Chicago. The first occurrence happened at 4am on Sunday, May 31, when a brick was thrown through the back door. The second occurrence happened in broad daylight Sunday evening, when the front windows and door were shattered and looters entered to steal anything of value. While the violence and destruction is tragic, the lack of equality and loss of life is more so. Dr. Khare said it best.
“I am not mad about what happened to my business. The people who did this have suffered more than I will ever know. They deserve to be angry. We must focus on how we can help and how we can bring change. It is critical that we come together and demand equality. Black lives matter. And in today’s environment, they matter more than ever.”
Khare was interviewed on WGN Radio and by Block Club Chicago regarding the vandalism. His empathetic response has drawn a lot of attention and applause.
