Lorenzo is making all possible efforts to prepare himself for release by reading, planning, growing a support network, building personal credit & developing a business plan. He is currently 42 years old & has spent most of his adult life in the Illinois Correctional system. Since the corona virus pandemic, Lorenzo typically spends 23 1/2 hours in his cell, receives limited rec time, long waits for commissary & medical care, no library access or in-person enrichment programs. He depends on friends, family & supporters for his enrichment. Lorenzo wants to find happiness, stability & self sufficiency during his second lease on life. Lorenzo is craving the opportunity to be a positive contributor to his community.
Any monies contributed to this GoFundMe will be spent directly on Lorenzo's living expenses directly following release. In addition to financing a small business, Lorenzo will need help securing housing & paying for groceries, transportation and basic needs in the first few months after release.
