Picture a prison yard transformed for one day into something closer to a family homecoming. That's our Returning Hearts Celebration.
Incarcerated parents and their children get unhurried hours together to play, laugh, say hard and healing words, and begin repairing bonds that distance has strained. For many kids, it is the first time in years they feel like they simply have a mom or a dad again.
Local churches and volunteers pour themselves into making these gatherings happen. Read more stories of reunion at lifelineglobal.org.
