Hi Wesley,
I saw your story on Queer Eye and you’re such an inspiration. It was good to see you and Maurice meet and have a conversation about what happened to you. Although you and he will probably not be friends, but I hope he can learn from you do something positive with his life. Best wishes to you, your family and your organization. Keep doing what you’re doing.
