History
The Christian faith is the motivating factor of my life. Earlier in my life I was living in chaos. At times I was homeless with nowhere to sleep and was full of anger with no purpose. In time I got tired of this way of living. I began attending church where I heard about Jesus Christ. There was more to life then my past mistakes. I had a spiritual awakening. My heart and mind were changed. No longer was I caught up in myself. I started looking outside of myself and saw the needs of others. It was then I was drawn to the needs of the kids in the community. I wanted to give them the chance to avoid the pitfalls I experienced when I was younger. While I was working as a referee, I started saving money to create an outreach program for kids and began building relationships with them. We spent time together at the gym; weight lifting and playing basketball. I transported them to the gym to work out and afterwards bought them something to eat. It was out of these relationships that I started, “The Second Chance Kids Foundation”.
