Homeless Man Given Second Chance After 35 Years

Tears began filling David’s eyes as he read the letter. He could not remember the last time he was filled with so much happiness and joy. He felt alive again.

He couldn’t even comprehend the gravity of it all. He had gone through terrible things over the last 35 years, but he finally had his second chance. He knew that he was destined for more.

The Future Was Bright

The last time David Carter found himself in a lecture hall was in 1971. He used to be a student of the arts at the University of Texas.

He began his studies in his early twenties, and he was bursting with potential. He knew that he had a bright future ahead of him; however, in a blink of an eye, his whole life changed.

Ignorance

Like many other young adults, David used to be full of life and a bit enthusiastic about how he lived it. On the other hand, David was still leading a careless existence at the time.

David enjoyed partying as much as the next college student. He was ignorant of the consequences of his lifestyle, and he could never have anticipated that such a small mistake could cost him everything.

A Turn For The Worst

When everything took a turn for the worst, David was only 23-years-old. David was involved in an “accident” involving alcohol that resulted in severe consequences.

The repercussions were fast. Aside from the disciplinary penalty he faced, the fact that he gravely wounded his hand had an impact on his career as an artist. Everything changed from that moment on.

Things Were Going Downhill  

David slid from there, his future in jeopardy and his ambitions in shambles. He became yet another substance abuse tragedy not long after.

Things had already gotten out of hand at this stage. David had been desperately trying to keep his life together and create himself some type of future when he heard the horrible news that utterly threw him off course.
