I haven't seen the movie but I met the man many years ago. He came to Camp Planet Hope to speak to the Moms of homeless families. He stayed to help work on resumes and job interview skills and play with the kids. He was so inspiring, genuine, helpful, and personable! I am in awe of him, how he made it thru hard times and changed lives. I worked for CPH but made some bad choices and homeless now. I could use a dose of Danny! Congrats on your success!!
