Whether Pure Heart Foundation is the same found in the Wikileaks Global Intelligence Files, has yet to be determined, but what I do know is that this is not something someone from the hood would do.
What tipped me off was the theft of toiletries.
Why would someone steal toilet paper and soap when they could just strip the home of all the copper wiring?
You know the pipes are probably pec.
I just had a difficult time seeing someone run down the street with a stove on their back.
Then, why would the cost to clean and replace cost so much money?

I see Stratfor.....I also see the Archdiocese of Detroit.....and the Detroit Land Bank Authority...I see infant mortality.
I tried to pull the property paperwork, but it seems the Wayne County Treasurer Property Tax Division is down, and so is the City of Detroit Property Tax Division.

Burglars raid home meant to be 'safe haven' for kids of incarcerated parents
Paint was poured onto the floor during a recent burglary at a Detroit home rented by the Pure Heart Foundation. Thieves also stole appliances and toiletries for kids. The nonprofit helps children of incarcerated parents and is planning to open the home as a clubhouse.
Sherelle Hogan envisions her nonprofit’s upcoming home as a safe haven — a clubhouse where kids can do their homework, receive counseling and enjoy a meal together on Detroit’s east side.
“I was heading over there to clean up and do finishing touches before our open house,” Hogan said, "and when I got there it was kind of flipped upside down.”
She arrived at the home on East McNichols Road near Schoenherr Street on Friday morning to find the large front window shattered. Burglars had stolen the refrigerator, stove, AC unit, hot water tank, furnace, cleaning supplies and nearly 100 toiletry kits for kids. The washer and dryer unit was damaged. Purple paint had been poured onto the hardwood floors. The security system had been ripped out of the walls, Hogan said.
Since the break-in, the kids Hogan helps have been sending her texts with messages like, "Please don’t give up on us."
“Their actions could have broken some children who've already been forgotten in society,” she said of the perpetrators. “They violated those young people, and they did not deserve that. It’s my obligation to keep fighting for them.”

Detroit police continue to investigate. No arrests had been made as of Monday, according to a spokeswoman.
Hogan has received an outpouring of community support, and she plans to stay on track to open the home in April.
The house will be Pure Heart Foundation’s first facility. Founded by Hogan in 2015, the nonprofit aims to break the cycle of generational incarceration by addressing the barriers and struggles that children ages 4 to 17 experience when a parent is in prison.
Both of Hogan's parents were incarcerated when she was a girl.

Hogan, 29, said her nonprofit has served about 2,500 families so far. Participants, who are referred to as scholars, take monthly outings to places like Detroit Pistons games, arcades and the movies.
Hogan expects to welcome 500 kids this year to the home that she's renting from Matrix Human Services. The staffed space will function like a clubhouse where children can drop in to unwind, connect with a mentor and access services like counseling and after-school programs. Parenting classes and financial literacy and workforce development courses will be offered. A summer camp will begin in July. Participants will not live at the home.
Chanel Jones said her 12-year-old son is excited about having a place to hang out with his peers. His father is incarcerated, and he knew of very few people who could relate to him before he got involved with the Pure Heart Foundation about three years ago, Jones said.
"For the children to come there and have little to no worries, to give them an outlet that they don’t have at home ... that’s her priority," she said of Hogan. "She wants them to have a safe haven."
Hogan said she plans to work with the Detroit Police Department to ensure that the home is secure before she starts over on renovations.
Jheremi Moore, 16, said he wishes that whoever broke into and vandalized the home had reached out for help instead.
He was one of the first participants in the program at age 13 when both his parents were incarcerated. He said he’s fortunate that his mother and father have since been released, but other youths involved in the Pure Heart Foundation have parents with long sentences or life in prison.
Moore said the clubhouse will be like a second home.
"Pure Heart is our little family," he said.
