JOSE
“Thank you very much for what you guys are doing for kids that go into the foster system. I want to personally thank you guys for picking me up and helping me go to karate. Now I am a red belt and I’m two more belts away from black belt.
It’s a gift that I’ve come a long way…my life is going good now.”
