Once I made that decision, miracles started to happening in my life. My relationship with my mother was restored. God placed it on the heart of many mentors to enter my life and through that I was able to push through those long eight years.

at CARE for over a year now and have successfully transitioned back into society. I have a job I enjoy, I have good credit, and I just got a new truck, I have healthy relationships with my family and friends. But most importantly I stay in the Word and keep a Christ centered life. CARE Tallahassee provides a Christ friendly environment that supports individuals in such a way that really gives them a chance to have a wonderful life after incarceration. I am truly grateful to be here to have an opportunity for Life after death.
