About Second Chances
The Second Chances Foundation is mythical, but problems are real
Second Chances is a love story by author Andrew Acre. It describes how a British princess called Caroline is left in a terrible position as a result of one mistake. She is determined to help herself by helping others, giving them second chances. There are however many real people who indeed feel despondent, and cannot see a way forward..
If this applies to you, or anyone you know then wherever you live, there are almost certainly individuals or organisations that would love to help. Below are a few examples from the UK. Just click on their image to learn more of their work. The message of Second Chances, the novel is that things CAN get better, you ARE able to pick yourself up, if you only try hard and long enough. In the process, Caroline also finds true love. There is no guarantee of that happening in every case, but we can always hope!
