Michael Folkes showed me that no matter how bad my past was, I have the power to make my life better; and I have. Thank you.

The Foundation is helping me to learn more about helping others – each one teach one. My attitude and behavior will change, and I will become a better person. I love this Foundation because it is helping my school to be the best school in the country.
