"In all my life ive thought that no one could relate to me and no one has just as bad luck as I do. I never thought that in all my experience I would find someone who has been through so much just as I have.

When we read your book it touched me. I realized that all the people that hurt me the most were my own family. Now the only family I have is my 5 month pregnant girlfriend and my brothers. Reading your book made it all that much easier to understand i'm not the only one that has been completely screwed over and that no matter what happens I can still come out on top. I can finally relate to someone. I’ve been through a lot of stuff that you have, not the same way, but similar. Some things I will not share because my pride won’t let me. But more than anyone will know I feel strong now that I am doing better for my life because of what you went through. It’s amazing that so much suffering can cause someone else some good. But then again people make others suffer for there pleasure.

I am so grateful to be in the freedom writers program and my amazing teachers Mrs. S and Mr. C. my beliefs are still there but with the help from god as I understand him I can recover from not just drugs but from unhealthy beliefs.

Thank you so much Frank,
"

One of Frank's most cherished projects is Harmony Through Hockey. Already a successful program in the Philadelphia area, "HTH" focuses on inner-city youth and exposes them to a sport that they may not have been able to participate in because of the intense financial commitment it requires. Beyond the ice, HTH makes sure that children are taught discipline, leadership and teamwork - skills they can use in life.
