A cab driver who was the victim of a gunshot, is now using his cab to drive family members of those incarcerated to prison visits.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Cleveland cab driver Bill Anderson was just trying to make a living by picking up some passengers at West 77th Street and Detroit Avenue when his life was changed forever.But that fare and that night in 2008 turned violent. He was robbed and shot.“The bullet is still lodged in there. They said it’s more dangerous to take it out at this time than to keep it in,” he said.
“Mentally, it’s totally different. There’s not a day that doesn’t go by when I don’t hear a car backfire, can’t enjoy the fireworks,” Anderson said as he winced. “I’ve always lived on the notion of saving lives one ride at a time. We have a purpose in life, being there to help people make the right decisions when they’re drinking and not driving is most important,” Anderson said.CLE Jailbird Express“We’re so eager to arrest, charge, sentence, imprison these people. And when you come out, are you going to be any better? The healing, the forgiveness has to begin somewhere,” he said.
“And then when I came across Bill Anderson’s service about a year ago, it was like a blessing,” said Dagg, who doesn’t have anyone else to drive him.“He’s trying to get his GED while he’s in there. He’s trying to accomplish something so he has something to do when he gets out,” he said.
