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—especially formerly incarcerated individuals and veterans—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.
