Lawrence Green

Alumni Of The Year

“There comes a point in your life where you realize that you are not defined by your worst mistake, but by how you rise after it. I had to make a choice: stay down, or get up and make the most of another chance.”

In this powerful feature story, we honor Lawrence Green as this year’s Alumni Of The Year. From facing seemingly insurmountable odds to rebuilding his life with determination and grace, Lawrence’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience, faith, and the unwavering support of the Hope Now community. Every great comeback starts with a single decision.

Together We Make Miracles Happen

Your support directly helps those leaving gangs, overcoming past mistakes, and building new futures—equipping them with job skills, mentorship, and the life-changing love of Jesus Christ to rebuild their lives. 

This proven path has led more than 3,000 individuals away from crime and brokenness—and into the American mainstream, where they are becoming contributing members of society.

Your belief in second chances gives hope to those who once thought they were forgotten. You are helping to break cycles of violence and poverty, and together with Hope Now, we’re building a stronger, safer Fresno.
