Julio Caba is an author, Ph.D. student and business owner.
Julio was raised in one of the worst neighborhoods in New York, Washington Heights. Drugs and crime were an everyday part of life. His teachers told him that he would either be dead or in jail by the time he reached the age of 18.
Believing in that narrative, he became that person. He dropped out of high school at 16 and had his first child. Drug dealing seemed to be the only career choice. By the time he was 18, he was the father of three. The mother of his children left him, and they were HOMELESS. Three children, no job, no opportunity, no education. He chose to end it all.
What happened next was nothing short of a miracle as his two-year-old stopped him seconds before plunging off a balcony to his death.
At that moment, he chose to change his life and you do not want to miss this exciting, incredible story of hope. Click the arrow to hear his story:
