How can a vision turn into reality?
In 1996, Morris Holland Derry III was incarcerated and realized that 75-80% of the prisoners would become reincarcerated. Not satisfied with those high statistics, Derry founded No More Pain, a nonprofit organization that mentors individuals who suffer from substance abuse, domestic violence, homelessness, cancer, ex-cons and youth development.
Since then, Derry has helped over 100 individuals seek substance abuse treatment.
