"I joined Operation New Hope for a multitude of reasons. I believe we are all better than our worst mistake, worst day, or worst decision. I believe in second, third, and fourth chances. I believe in the underdog and the comeback story. If I can play even a small role in affecting that change, that chance, that hope, then I will be the grateful one for the opportunity to help."
