CNN Hero: Scott Silverman of the Second Chance Program - Strengthening Communities and Inspiring Lives


CNN Heroes: Scott Silverman

"Twenty-three years ago, Scott Silverman found himself at an open, 44th-story window, on the brink of suicide. Two decades of escalating substance abuse, blackouts and depression had brought him to this moment...

...Saved by a colleague and rehab, Silverman has dedicated his life to helping others. His Second Chance program has helped thousands find work and a new life. His targets: People in shelters, the homeless, inmates leaving prison"

Read. Thanks. This sorta thing needs some more youth movement fervor love. There's plenty for us to fix here at home. Plenty of heart wrenching, really good causes in our back yards.

Yay Scott Silverman!
