We are partnering with the Elite Ladies of Expression in the Angel Tree Prison Fellowship and Inner Change Freedom Initiative sponsorship to support our children of incarcerated parents and parents of incarcerated children. This event will be held on December 17, 2011 at Grace Fellowship Church 4139 Kewanee Street Houston, TX 77051. We will be collecting toys starting Friday, December 2, 2011 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Las Parking Lot located across the street from The Breakfast Klub at 3711 Travis Street Houston, TX 77002, and again on Friday, December 9, 2011 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Having a parent/child in prison can be a monumental trauma for a parent/child. Struggles to understand a lengthy separation, feelings of abandonment, unanswered questions regarding the whereabouts and safety of their parents/children and the lack of contact can leave permanent scars on the parent/child. To further complicate matters, these children/parents often carry the shame and stigma projected from society that lacks understanding of the complexities of the criminal justice system.
We are asking you to help us this year by giving a tax- deductible contribution. We work very hard to provide to our children and families in need. We hope that we can count on you for a donation of the following: bikes, electronics, and clothing or monetary donation.
I thank you for your time and consideration. Your organization will be recognized as one of the sponsors at the Angel Tree Event. We look forward to whatever support you can provide. If you are able to donate privately, please also check for matching funds through your employer.
If you would like to make a donation throughout the week, or you require additional information about Elite Ladies of Expression, you may contact our office and we would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
