Testimonials
Eric Harris
“ I’ve been apart of life jackets for half of my life. I’ve always attended the many events all while still learning how to navigate through life as a young black man in America. With losing my baby brother/best friend at the age of 17, I’ve managed to still keep my head leveled on my shoulders all while graduating high school. With the many jobs I’ve had, I’ve learned many skills/life lessons. How has life jackets helped me become a better man? It has molded me and shaped me into the man I am today. I am now 24 years old, and I’m a father of a beautiful baby girl. Life jackets has saved my life and I’m very thankful for being apart of the program!”
