A message from FailSafe-ERA CEO Juanita Shanks

Thank you to all that donated on Giving Tuesday. We still need your help!  Your contribution has the power to inspire change.

โ€‹

Every donation, no matter the size, supports our critical programs and initiatives that are transforming lives.  We still need to raise $25,000 to continue to support our mission where individuals and families impacted by the justice system can rebuild their lives, strengthen their bonds, and achieve lasting positive change.

โ€‹

You might ask why we should support FailSafe-ERA.  I am so glad you asked.  Because we are transforming our community.  We provide evidence-based training to both the inmates and returning citizens upon their release, support the entire family through social and emotional support, resources, and training; and we are preventing generations of incarceration.

  • every 5 weeks we graduate 85-90 inmates from the Courage to Change interactive journaling program

  • Every week we provide group mentorship for individuals transitioning from incarceration to becoming Agents of Change to lead fully productive lives.  

  • Twice a month we meet with the youth in our community to prevent generations of incarceration

No donation is too small.  Help us to continue to provide resources, opportunities, and hope.  Together, we can build a brighter tomorrow and a better future for our children.โ€‹
