We Welcome Your Support

Every human being needs purpose. The self-esteem bestowed from working toward that purpose is priceless. The House of Life’s talented re-entry members have the opportunity and skills to serve the community by mentoring and assisting other citizens re-entering society from incarceration. As every day passes, society and other returning citizens miss out on the contribution they can make toward rehabilitation, productivity and public safety. Now is the time.

Our donors can deduct contributions they make under IRC Section 170. The next phase of our plan involves raising funds in order to purchase the initial piece of property to develop into a re-entry center. The vision is to purchase a modest building capable of housing three returning citizens and a project manager.

Letters From Behind
THE WALLS

Writings from and inspired
from the book, “Life Sentences”

There were times in the past when I use the excuse of POME (Product Of My Environment) to justify my behavior. And trying to overcome that state of mind, I realize that I have a choice, regardless of my environment. I could choose to be a product of my expectations.
Ralph “Malakki” Bolden
The merit of the effort. What’s fair is always easily found if we just look into our hearts and not our heads, our hearts are where all truth exists.
Robert “Faruq” Wideman

If I can save one young man from coming back to prison once they are released, then I feel I’m making a difference….. Also, I want my daughter to remember me as a man who helped people instead of the person that brought me to prison.

Clarence “Shawn” Robinson
One of the main things I do is use the word “we.” That way the person that I’m helping doesn’t feel alone. Most of the time they just need someone to listen to them. So now I spend my day going around talking to people seeing if I can help them. You would be surprised to see how much just talking and listening to someone helps them.
