TheSecondChances.com is dedicated to telling the stories of individuals and groups who have triumphed over adversity.
The Second Chances webisodes highlight a few select stories which illustrate the low points, the hurdles, and the help which led to a new sustained success. In each case giving back or paying it forward completed the circle of making the most of the second chances. We hope to inspire others to do the same.
The Second Chances Corner links you to many stories around the country where people are in the process of making the most of their second chances.
Second Chance Expressions includes original artwork, lyrics, music, poetry, and photography expressing individual's experiences with second chances.
We welcome you to share your stories, comments, and creative expressions. We wish that the second chances you might need will come your way.

Food saved her life.
Christina
Pirello, an American chef with her own cooking show, was told she had 9
months to live when she was 25 years old. Her knowledge
of macrobiotic foods, Chinese medicine, and nutrition, gave her a
second chance and has led her to making a difference in many people's

She
became addicted to opiates at nineteen. This
talented smart young woman in her twenties triumphed over drugs and has
remained clean and
sober for 3 1/2 years. Grateful that she received a second chance in
the form of recovery in place of a future in jail, the gutter, or
dying, she has given back by using her talents to raise and train
service dogs for children with autism.
A
touching first person account that will inspire and give hope to all
those who have been affected by alcoholism or addiction.
