Thank you for giving him this opportunity to create a better life for himself. He truly has a heart for people. I felt inspired to do better myself just by talking to him. I believe he is a man of noble character. I didn't buy a magazine from him, and he was just as kind to me when he shook my hand good-bye as when he shook my hand hello. His life experiences, his compassion for helping others, his winning personality, his desire to seek a better life, his ability to overcome adversity and his openness and honesty to share his life to help others are invaluable. The world needs more forthright people like him. Please know that you have a gem in him and help him succeed in this business and encourage him as he encourages others. Good luck to your program and the good you are doing teaching people to "fish" for a lifetime. May God bless all of you abundantly. "

However, because he presented himself in a very professional and very humble and honest manner; I bought a subscription from him for my sister. And though my contribution was very minimal; I am a strong supporter of organizations like yourself who encourage positive growth and succesful advancement to under priveledged individuals. Please forward to Terrance that I will continue to pray for God's guidance in his life and pray that he will adhere to the will of God so that he may arrive at that 'goal' that he has set for himself. Remind him that my answer to his question was, "Yes, I believe people have a 2nd chance; because I believe in God."

She was polite and had such a positive energy. I have to admit, I am still a little scard I have been taken or that this magazine is not going to show up. I usually do not buy things from a door to door person - but she had me. I just wanted to let you know that she is going to do well for herself in life! She has great energy, she was well spoken and was committed to the sale and to making me feel comfortable."
