Hi Bridget,

As a person who has had incarcerated pen pals, I have come to understand more about the prison system in America and understand the challenges within it. Just sending you my love and support. ❤️

I so appreciate and love pen pals. Just letting people inside know that they're not forgotten, that they can make a difference and be in community changes everything. Thank you so so much for what you do.

Many don’t realize how much this difference makes, but it truly does help. Things like this come naturally to me because I care about others and like making a difference in whatever way I can for others.

Thank you for reminding me of the challenges of those who are living behind bars. In Iowa there is a group called “Living Beyond the Bars” that works with individuals after they are released from prisons, assisting them in employment, housing and transportation. Big challenges when starting all over.
