When I first met CEO Aaron S. Kawreh, his passion for helping youth immediately stood out. His vision for second chances and real mentorship moved me, and I knew this program was something special. I decided to enroll my son right away — and the change has been incredible. In such a short time, he’s grown in confidence, communication, and direction. Seeing that improvement has confirmed what I felt in that first conversation: this program is truly life‑changing.

As a single mother of three, I was working hard but still struggling to manage my finances. When I connected with New Beginnings Second Chance Initiative Program and spoke with CEO Aaron S. Kawreh, everything changed. He listened with compassion and immediately enrolled me in the financial literacy program. Since then, I’ve learned how to understand my money, budget with confidence, and start rebuilding my credit. The improvement has been amazing, and I finally feel hopeful about my financial future.

My 14‑year‑old daughter was drifting toward the wrong friends and making choices that worried me deeply. I felt like I was losing her. Then we met Rose Wento, and everything changed. Rose connected with her with patience, love, and firm guidance in a way no one else could. Since then, my daughter has turned her life around — she’s focused, respectful, and choosing better paths. Rose truly brought peace and hope back into our home.

My son used to be violent, constantly getting into trouble at school, and at one point he was even detained by the police. I felt lost and didn’t know where to turn. One day, while visiting Champion Temple, a friend told me about Aaron S. Kawreh. When I reached out, Aaron didn’t hesitate — he took my son under his mentorship, and that became the greatest turning point of our lives. Today, Mark is a completely different child. He has become a positive example in school, respectful, focused, and full of purpose. The change is nothing short of amazing, and I am forever grateful for the guidance and support we received.
