Colorado has approximately 50 young men and women who were sentenced as
children to life without parole. They desperately need mentors. Some
churches have "adopted" our LWOPS.
They:
--write letters, send birthday cards, keep them connected with the outside
world.
--Send money for education and ordinary needs such as toiletries, extra
food, medical visits, etc. (Remember, the average prisoner makes $12 a
month.)
Cash Donations are desperately needed so we are able to continue our work. Please help and give what you can. Donations can be made safely and securely through PayPal
