Review for Foundation of HOPE, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved with the HOPE ministry for about 8 years as a member of the Jail Project Committee and as a teacher in the “Confronting your Stinkin’ Thinkin’” cause. I have listened to the participants as they reveal their confused youth and their misspent years after dropping out of school. I have seen miraculous changes in most of the HOPE men. This change is born out in the fact that the recidivism rate for HOPE participants is less than 15%, while the rate for others is around 70%.
HOPE graduates have learned that a dark past does not need to become an empty future, and that mistakes are not burdens to be carried but to be understood as a platform for new days, and that just because the world has its share of A-holes doesn’t mean you have to be the toilet paper.
Thank you for considering HOPE as a cause worthy of your support.
