"I found a passion and longing for the world...I can make a difference and I can help people help themselves, which is even better than doing for them because they can do for themselves in the future, it's fantastic and I love it, and it's all thanks to the supports that I've gotten from DVR."
-Ty Smith (Watch Ty's Video)
