Iโ€™m committed to real change, walking by faith and not by sight. Iโ€™m a strong-minded, loyal person who loves R&B music, and Iโ€™m waiting for the day I can go home and fully live the change Iโ€™ve worked for.

Iโ€™ve been carrying a lot of grief since 2017 when my mother passed away. My mother was a strong figure in my life, and I miss her inspiring words, her cooking, and her smile. Then last year, in 2023, I lost my little brotherโ€”on my birthday. Losing him has felt like losing a part of myself; I canโ€™t fully describe my sorrow.

At 46, Iโ€™m working to turn my losses into growth. Iโ€™m having the tattoos removed from my face, and Iโ€™m focused on furthering my education because I want a better life, with the love of a family of my own. I want to belong. Iโ€™ve been working on improving my behavior, admitting to the mistakes I made in the past, including my involvement in gang culture.

I also graduated and am a certified counselor and mentor. Iโ€™m committed to real change, walking by faith and not by sight. Iโ€™m a strong-minded, loyal person who loves R&B music, and Iโ€™m waiting for the day I can go home and fully live the change Iโ€™ve worked for.

Yours truly,ย ย 

Gerald
