The single most important mission that inspires me is the Renewal of McDowell County, West Virginia. I began my work there in 2011, when I became aware of the devastation caused by joblessness, drug overdoses, flooding of homes, and overall conditions of squalor caused by the coal companies' abandonment of these lovely people, whose Hope has been dashed for decades. I decided to do my best to help.
