Why help raise funds?

Because children of prisoners need your help to overcome the many challenges they face!

All funds raised will support Parenting With Purpose’s Mentoring for Life Change Program.

MLC provides mentoring for youth ages 5-25 with an incarcerated or released parent.

The primary aim of MLC is to break the cycle of crime within families and guide kids to a healthier, productive, and overall better life.

How to set-up a personal fundraising page

Did you know?

More than 15,000 children in Minnesota have an incarcerated mother or father; they’re among the highest at-risk and least visible populations of children
Incarceration is a generational problem within families. Statistics show that 60-80 percent of children with an incarcerated parent will themselves wind up in the criminal justice system
Today, one in every 100 American adults is in prison-the highest incarceration rate in our nation’s history!
