AMY’S STORY

The Road to Reunification

Journey’s clients face many challenges when they return to the community from prison. Probably one of the most difficult challenges for those that are parents is reunifying their families. Amy Demboski lost custody of her two younger children while she was serving her sentence.

Addicted to Money

Addiction comes in many forms. For Anita Mordue, her drug was money. “I never felt like I was enough,” she said. “There are so many things I cared about before. It was about how people saw me. It was greed and insecurity. I wanted money to be able to rent a bigger house, have a better car, spend money on vacations, take friends out to dinner and drinks. Stuff that just never mattered.”

Kits for Clients

We appreciate our supporters who donate items to help our clients. But the pandemic has limited what we can accept, and our clients still have needs. To help us provide for their basic needs, we are looking for at least 50 donors to commit to our monthly giving program.

Your monthly recurring donation of $10, $15 or $25 will provide clients with kits designed to meet the basic needs for their individual journey.

We will continue to accept all donations that we can. This is simply another option to meet the needs of our clients.
