About Us
Mary and Tasha, both passionate about rehabilitation
and second chances, found themselves drawn
together by a shared desire to make a difference.
Mary, a former gang member, had a deep
understanding of the challenges individuals face
after incarceration. Tasha, a convicted felon
turned skilled project manager, was eager to
apply her organizational expertise to a meaningful
cause.
United by their shared goal, the aunt and niece duo
combined their strengths to establish a foundation focused on supporting reentry efforts. With Mary's insight into the needs of those transitioning from incarceration and Tasha's strategic planning, they built a foundation that offers practical resources and a supportive community for individuals seeking to rebuild their lives.
Their collaboration embodies the power of teamwork and dedication, demonstrating that by coming together, individuals can make a profound impact on the lives of others and create positive change in their communities.
We believe in the potential of all individuals to embrace their second chance, define their future, and positively contribute to the community.
At J. Stew Foundation, our mission is to provide a supportive environment for individuals to grow, thrive, and reintegrate into society after incarceration.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a society that values and supports the successful reintegration of individuals, recognizing their potential to be productive and contributing members of the community.
