About L.E.A.S.H. (Support Law Enforcement and Service Heroes)

My name is David Wang, the founder for L.E.A.S.H. My journey in community service has been rooted in a personal connection that began when I was just a toddler. At the age of 2, I found myself lost with my grandmother, far from home, and disoriented. It was the Fort Bend Sheriff who came to our rescue with K9 on the ground, a helicopter in the air, and more than 20 police cars scanning through the community, locating us swiftly and ensuring our safety. My parents have been telling me the story over the years, and the memory of that day has remained etched in my mind, a testament to the dedication and compassion of law enforcement. In gratitude for their assistance, my family and I resolved to give back. Organizing events to gather donations and support the law enforcement and service heroes was a way for us to express our thanks. This journey led to the formation of the non-profit organization "L.E.A.S.H." (Law Enforcement and Service Heroes), a platform dedicated to honoring those who safeguard our community.
