What donors are saying.
"I love what you guys are doing. I couldn't wait to get letters from my father when he was in prison, and I know he anxiously awaited letters from me and my siblings. Communication is crucial to maintaining a relationship. Keep doing what you're doing."
"I currently have an incarcerated loved one and it hurts. I would never ever wish this on another family."
"Letters and photos helped me through my hardest times. I personally know the struggle of being disconnected from a loved one and relying on snail mail. The least I can do is help a child connect to their loved one."
