Day 3 of 10 Days of Thanking YOU

​Dear Friends of HCM,
The first time I went to Young Life it was a requirement to attend an event in order to secure my employment for the coming summer. The theme of the first night was Fear Factor, where people are asked to eat unusual foods and perform stunts. They asked the audience for volunteers to chew and swallow a live worm, to which I volunteered without hesitation. I completed the challenge while a group of young adults cheered me on. Reflecting on this experience, I felt it was one of the most enjoyable events I had ever been to. To end off the night, I played basketball with a group of people who eventually became some of my closest friends. Young Life is no longer a requirement for me, but I continue to integrate it into my weekly schedule. It is something I truly look forward to as a consistency in my ever-changing life. I wanted to take the time to formally thank all of the donors and volunteers for their contributions and making my experience so amazing. Young Life wouldn't be able to happen without all of you. Thank you for everything.
Sincerely,
Alexander Thomas
