The Problem

Well, our project is divided in to two parts. one is for adults, esp. incarcerated fathers and we help them become better people and how to support their family. the youth part (which im looking for help with) we teach youth how to resist bad lifestyle habits to grow up to be respectable people in society and not fall into the ways of parents, etc. Due to new legislation, our grants have all run out. we have no money left to do what we do anymore. we used to have a film camp every year where we would make PSAs to be put on tv and get our beliefs out, we can no longer do that either. (you can acsess these videos from our website.)

Plan of Action

My plan of action with these grants is to set the project back in motion. i want to setup fundraisers and get the word out to the people around me that im not gonna go down without a fight and let the this project crumble. i'm gonna take the people who say its impossible head on, and educate future generations about it.
