Mike is coming home!!

Hi everyone,

We are so excited to share that Mike is coming home!!!! After over 30 years incarcerated, most recently at Otisville, he'll be returning to Manhattan later this month! We are so grateful that he got a place in a supportive housing facility.

He'll initially be at staying there while he gets his bearings, but is hoping to move upstate to be able to live a quieter life, where he can garden, focus on his long term goal of continuing his education (which he started through the Cornell Prison Education Program), and give back to the community. He will be using these funds to help himself get situated back in Manhattan and to help him move towards his long term goals.

We have been working with Mike for the last two years through the Parole Preparation Project and can both say that Mike is one of the kindest and smartest people we know. We are so so excited Mike is coming home and hope you can help us make this transition as smooth as possible!

P.S Painting is one of Mike's many (many) talents, the header photo for this fundraiser is a painting he did a few years ago!
