"I've been lucky enough to have what I need in life and most of what I could want. A home. Food. A loving family that surrounds me and lifts me up when I need it. I know that this is a luxury. I've also been raised to know how important it is to share and lift others up when they need it and when I can. It's the kind of person my parents raised me to be and the kind of people that I want my sons to be. I hope to help make helping others contagious and show just what kind of people we are in Owatonna." - Matt Jessop
