According to Daniel: I come from a loving family of 6. My oldest brother Joe is 57, me 55, Martha 52 who died of COVID last year, Sandra 48, then Tracy 45, and last Robert 42. I have 4 children and 2 grandbabies. My children are Travis 28, Tate 26, Lexy 17 and Xavier is 12. My mother is 75 years of age now and has suffered a great deal since my incarceration. She cries daily. Since incarceration I have lost my sister Martha Cantu, and my stepdad who was my mom’s husband, both to COVID this past November, 2020. My heart aches for my mother cause of all she has endured through the last 7 years I have been incarcerated. I am her rock and her emotional support, and when I was out there, her financial support as well.

Part of my recovery since being in here is to reach out to all those who were hurt and have asked for their forgiveness for my mistakes; I am truly remorseful. When I say everyone, this is not just my family but the families of those that were affected too. I am happy to say that they were forgiving, and I cannot be happier they were. I did not see at the time, all pain I was causing; I was selfish and was self-centered. I have learned a lot from being in here.

I have always been close to God and was always having my children at Church way before my arrest. However, I have grown even closer to the Lord. I have received College credits for some of the programs I have completed, including all the classes I have taken here. I have also maintained a job from the time I entered these gates. I have earned my GED as well. I am a mentor to many who need support spiritually, emotionally or moral support. Many know me here as a Man of God...A Child of God...I led the prayer circle before the pandemic; I am still helping those who want and need help. I do my best to teach these men how to use their God given skills to a legal means of how to open a business and make something better out of their lives. I am planting seeds for the Lord. I have learned so much since being down for 7 years. I have also seen a lot that has broken my heart and wish I could do more. Some things though are left for God and God alone. I am sure you understand.

If given clemency by President Biden I would forever value his mercy. He will never regret it.  I am a good man deserving of a second chance to reclaim my life and I vow to use my 2nd chance wisely and certainly not take it for granted.
