Editor:

I’m writing this letter to show my appreciation for the people who are helping lead me to a new life in Carrollton. I live in Carrollton, and my name is Randy Taylor. I’m 34 years old. I’m a greatly recovering addict. I just wanted to take a few minutes of your time to thank Hayley Franklin and Champions for a Drug Free Carroll County coalition. Thank you for allowing me to come in and speak about my history of drug abuse and how my life has been turned around. Thank you for helping me move forward with my life.
