Hope for justice impacted people from Joe DeGregorio & Carole Santos
“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” I was introduced to Joe DeGregorio in September 2023 in formulating my PSR. From the very first minute, Joe's mentorship, friendship, empathy, intelligence, integrity was apparent. Joe’s sage wisdom and advice is rooted in his humanity and experience. Joe along with Carole Santos would be the greatest of “hope bearers” as despite over 30 months of documented health challenges including deep venous ulcers with spontaneous high volume bleeding, DVT tumor and obstructive chronic sleep apnea I was initially given a non medical designation with 72 hours to surrender some 11 months after first meeeting. With only 48 until self surrender Joe Degregorio and Carole Santos were so knowledgeable, responsive and supportive I was redesignated to a federal medical center closest to my family. I’ll be forever indebted to them both for hope and compassion they provided me throughout last 11 months.
