Another Chance at Life

Dear Therese,

I’d like to take a couple of minutes to talk to you about hope, patience, joy, responsibility, confidence, understanding, accomplishment.  This program has given me all of that and more.  I found joy in working with others.  I’ve gained a renewed hope for my future.  I have a greater understanding of what it means to be responsible for other’s needs.  I have re-built my self confidence, which I had thought was beyond repair.  I get a great feeling of accomplishment when I put another’s needs above my own.  There is no other program where I could learn the skills and techniques that I have learned and continue to learn every day.  Due to my participation in this program, I have learned to overcome my own loneliness and depression.  Often when you take time and effort to save another life – you can end up saving your own.
