Grant Denton started the karma Box Project as a way to give back after experiencing many years as a drug addict,  and living on the streets for 3 years.   He comes from a broken family, was a high-school dropout, and became a performer on the Las Vegas Strip.  He was recently recognized as a Reno Superhero for his public service.

 

Grant walked us through the mindset of a an addict and some of his tribulations.  What saved him was time in jail, and books from his granny--especially the one on mindfulness.  He also provided insights into what we can do to help, and told us about Karma Box, where anyone can drop off supplies for those in need.

 

Isabella, our RYE student, shared that she and her soccer team had donated to Karma 
Box, and that she was inspired to service by her grandmother, who helped the homeless and others back home.  Check their Facebook page or use the map for locations.
