Muppet Viking!

To Denise and Staff of
Ortega Counseling Center,

There are no words to say thank you for all the help and guidance I have received from Ortega Counseling Center since my injury case was settled.

It was a dark and stressful time for me. I was unable to return to my job and looking for a new job with no success. Trying to figure out how would I be able to afford College or Trade School full or part time to start a new career knowing that I will still have to pay off bills and debt that collected and to continue therapy for my injuries. Then about 6 months after I received help the first time from Ortega Counseling Centers I received an email from Denise stating that I qualify for a $5000 dollar supplemental program for injured workers. I could not believe it! I was able to pay off my old bills and have money left over for Disneyland for my family.

When I was younger I worked as an extra part time for TV, Commercials and Film. I was fortunate to find work again as an extra. I became eligible to join the Screen Actors Guild now called SAG-AFTRA from past work and now I am working again UNION. I've been lucky to work small featured roles and one day I hope to become a Principle Actor. I would have never thought that I would be able to pursue my childhood dream.

I was recently blessed to play a Viking Dad with my Viking Family on the show The Muppets. Not only did I play a Viking Dad, but the scene I was playing was Lazer Tag with my Acting Family against Kermit and Miss Piggy. Of course we lost, but it was a blast. I'm a 40 year old man playing Lazer Tag with The Muppets! I would of never thought that that would of happened to me. It's a childhood dream to meet them. My daughter can't wait to see me on television playing with them. I have been fortunate to have steady work in the Entertainment Industry and have good people next to me. I will soon be able to set up my IMDB account.

This is a new start for me and Ortega Counseling Center has been a blessing in my life. They continue to guide me in the right direction. I may continue to have pain from my injuries, but I have been set free from my old life. It's exciting, scary, yet fresh to pursue a new career.

I am now moving forward in a new and positive direction towards HEALING PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY and most of all SPIRITUALLY.

With much love and of course thank you,
David C.
