“Growing up as one of ten siblings, I always understood the importance of taking advantage of any and every opportunity. At fourteen joining A Better Chance of Westport was one of the easiest decisions I ever made. My life since then has seen nothing but endless personal, mental and emotional growth helped by the tremendous support I received from everyone involved with A Better Chance of Westport. I have become strong in ways I never could have imagined”
— Thomas Jones (SHS ‘16)
“Potential is universal. Opportunity is not. Thanks to ABC, there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The older I got, the more apparent that was.”
— Charles Winslow (SHS ’09)
