My grateful heart development began when I met my first temporary sponsor in July of 2017.

"But, I didn’t let that depression take over. I found gratitude, I found myself."

"It was pouring down with rain one day and it was then that I found my darkest hour."

"In 2015 I lost 2 people in my life who were very close to my heart."

"Spending time, every morning, in gratitude has changed my world for the better."

"Without this routine, I would have struggled much more than I was doing."

"I was starting to lose hope when I saw an ad for a 3-bedroom apartment on the 3rd floor of a 3-family home."

"Gratitude changes your life so fast. I really feel like my life changed in a matter of like two weeks."

"I understood that there is something special in everybody, and we should appreciate that."

"That's why I was taking out my anger on them but the reverse was happening because they were always trying to prove to me that I am wrong."

"Oh, man, it was very slow. I didn't realize I had to do it. I had the mindset of - Why me? Why is this happening to me? And I realized that was the problem."

"I would laugh at first, thinking everyone has those things, everyone has health, everyone has a house. But then it started to really hit me that no, not everybody has that, that's not the case."
