Please donate today to: The Fresh Start Resources Initiative supports women preparing to reenter the community after incarceration by connecting them to essential resources, guidance, and ongoing support. From navigating housing and employment to accessing mental health, education, and local services, this program ensures women are not starting over alone. It equips them with the tools, confidence, and direction needed to rebuild their lives with stability and dignity.

The Impact:
The Fresh Start Resources Initiative extends far beyond release day. Women who participate gain clarity, support, and a renewed sense of possibility during one of the most vulnerable transitions of their lives. By connecting them with trusted community partners, helping them navigate next steps, and being present when challenges arise, the program reduces setbacks and strengthens long-term stability. Each woman walks away with more than resources—she walks away with confidence, hope, and the assurance that her success truly matters.

Our children (all children) are watching! What are you modeling from them?
I love to serve and give back especially to my community, my home DeForest! Serving as a Trustee is an honor and privilege! Watching my children thriving and shining brings me so much joy! I am still in awe, knowing and watching my son drive that big engine. Our continued actions hit and last longer than we could ever imagine. My amazing son not only serves in the military, works at the hospital, but also fights fires for 3 different communities. hashtag hashtag
My goal as a mom…. See my kids grow and do more than I could ever imagine for them. My dream and goal for all youth…
What is yours?
