Prison to Purpose: Dignity, Truth & Freedom for Shaquille

Donation protected
He’s being wrongfully accused of tampering with his house arrest monitor. After serving 10 years in prison, Shaquille McGraw came home determined to live a new life — to contribute to society, pursue his career, be a peaceful, mentally healthy, and civilized man, and most importantly, to be present for his daughter

However, he’s facing the threat of going back and is currently fighting for his freedom & dignity.

The truth? He was living with a woman who offered him shelter during a vulnerable time. When he respectfully refused her sexual advances, she retaliated by throwing away his ankle monitor. Now, the legal system is trying to punish him for surviving someone else’s violation.

He finally has a guaranteed safe place to live and is ready to finish his house arrest with full integrity. But he needs a strong legal team to stand before the judge and speak his truth — and that requires funds.

We’re raising $8,888 to cover legal defense, secure stable housing, and provide emergency support as he reclaims his freedom.

This isn’t just about a parole violation. It’s about a man who’s done his time, who is ready to rise, and who deserves a chance to build, be free, and show up for his child.

Kindly donate what you can. Share this. Speak his name. Help us give him the justice and future he deserves.

All in the name of love,
Kyra Blakely
