Did you know April is National Second Chance Awareness Month? Over 2.3 million parents in the U.S. are separated from their children due to incarceration.
That means more than 2.3 million children are living a reality like Pure Heart Scholar, Ayrah. This past Sunday, Ayrah visited her father. When asked what her favorite part of the visit was, she simply said, “just being there.”
Can you imagine the heart of a child who is just grateful to spend time with their parent—even inside a prison facility. 😢
Pure Heart’s Family Reunification Program was developed to keep scholars connected to their parent. We provide funding support for phone calls, video visits, postage for letter writing, JPay services, in-person visits, parenting classes for incarcerated parents and those transitioning back home, a caregiver relief fund, and a caregiver support group.
Because we understand the significance of maintaining that bond—and the importance of removing barriers for caregivers.
No matter the circumstances, a child sees their parent as their parent—and loves them unconditionally.
