The rewards of turning a life of success into one of compassion in action are worth the risk.

Mountains to Cross is a narrative of the author's pursuit of purpose through his transformative social contribution. George chronicles his path to helping thousands of families escape intergenerational poverty and societal inequality. More than a personal memoir, this book motivates those who want to address systemic poverty and inequality but are unsure where or how to start. Through personal stories and lessons from his experiences, readers can develop their own understanding of what it means to lead a life of conviction and engagement. For social entrepreneurs, educators, philanthropists, policymakers, or anyone interested in grassroots change, it provides practical insights to help them achieve their goals of serving those in need.

The author offers his story not as a blueprint for service but as an invitation to consider a path of purpose through compassion. Written in a storytelling style, he shares his life experiences to provide insights into social work for those who wish to help the impoverished.
