“Giving up isn’t an option.”

-Manasseh, Director of Hope Fuse

Manasseh is the director and creator of Hope Fuse in Rochester, MN, which instills hope in at-risk youth while providing diverse mentor-ship. Success has not come to him easily but with the confidence from excellent parents, structure from sports with hard work, and the faith to do good has got him here. He has now devoted his life as a professional, friend, and father to mentor those who need it most while never giving up. There were numerous people who tried to take him down because of what made him who he was---and thank God, there were that many more people in his corner helping him never forget that giving up (or changing who he was) was not a viable option. Thank you, Ness, for letting us have a glimpse into your life story and the reason behind your mission. What you are doing is priceless and limitless. Thank you for being a disciple. We are with you all the way.
