“Hi Amanda! Just wanted to say thank you so much for choosing me to be a part of the Fresh Start Program. Although my tattoo isn’t entirely gone yet, having it faded so much has given me so much more confidence within myself & because of that, I am now employed full time! You really are changing people’s lives.””
