Campaign Details
As you consider donating or supporting Magdalene Coming Home in ANY WAY, you will be helping to give women a second chance at a new life with meaning.
Currently, as we look for a suitable HOME for up to 8 women, we have begun a 6-month "Think Legacy- Women in Re-Entry" program, in conjunction with Hope Rises and the Arkansas Dept of Corrections. The 40 women taking these classes are within 6 months of their expected release date from prison, and we are teaching skills and tools that will be beneficial and life-giving once they are released.
For the first time, this comprehensive program addresses spirituality, wellness, trauma, literacy skills, empowerment, and tools to help them make better choices in the future as they return to society. Because of these classes, they are beginning to see "a better way of living", and recognize that they have a CHOICE for their future... but they also need the support of the communities they are returning too, in order to succeed.
This will not only help these women, but will ensure that our communities will benefit by having contributing members who will be successful in their lives, AND the lives of their children and families.Coming Home will be a two-year residential community for women who have survived violence, addiction, sexual exploitation, incarceration, or other trauma. Our residents will receive healthcare, job opportunity, and a compassionate community of sisterhood and support.
