This year's Purpose Prize winners all have compelling stories to tell in these 10 short videos.
James Smallwood tears up when he tells the story of the woman who had her kids waiting in the car as she took a course at The Choice Is Yours, the hands-on training program he runs in the Philadelphia area. Eventually, Smallwood realized they were living in the car.
Through his program, the woman found a job, and a home. That's an echo of Smallwood's own journey, from homeless addict to the owner of a construction firm that provides training and opportunities for recovering addicts, ex-offenders, at-risk youth and homeless men and women.
