Jason's Journey: From Heartbreak to Healing and Hope

I know time isn't on my side and that I'll be in my mid-40s by the time I finish my master's, but I'm always telling my kids that they can be anything they want to be, and I'm trying to live that. I might be in my 70s by the time I reach my dream, but I don't care. This job gives me a chance to pay it forward.
Imagine the pain of losing a loved one so suddenly and violently. That's the heartbreaking reality Jason faced when his wife, Jessica, was murdered during a robbery.

For five long years, he spiraled deeper into addiction, losing everything along the way. But this isn't just a story of loss—it's a story of redemption and resilience.
