Our Story
What We do.
Continue the Story comes alongside families that are impacted by the prison system. Over 2.7 million children in the United States have a parent that is in prison. The lives of those children are instantly and drastically changed for no fault of their own. Research suggests that intervening in the lives of parents in prison and their children help to preserve and strengthen positive family connections. As a result, it can lower the chances of lasting psychological and emotional trauma for their children.
why we do it.
Imagine the difference we could make in the world. By helping the families impacted by the prison system, we could not only change their lives, we could begin to rewrite the perceptions of those in prison. Everyone deserves to be loved. That includes those who are not “perfect.” We have the ability to give people in prison a chance to rewrite their stories and give them hope for the future. Join us as we help those in prison to not only be rehabilitated but also to find redemption. Let’s give them the tools to continue their story.
The Impact
From Nancy, an Inmate
“I’m going to make a difference in the lives of others once I’m free. I’m going to use my experience inside of here as a platform to change the minds of the youth. I also want to give back, and create a 2nd chance program for the people who are locked up. I’m hoping to be free this year on my judicial release.”
From Amy, an Inmate
“I just want you to know how much I appreciated your letter, and your prayers. I need a lot of them. I’m trying to find my way and have struggled with my faith, I won’t lie, but I’m working on myself and reconnecting with my higher power. So this letter couldn’t have come at any better timing. Thank you for taking your time and thinking of someone who is doing time. You don’t understand how just a little letter can not only put a smile on someones face but can change their attitude or [out]look on their life. This was just another sign from God for me.”
