I’m so grateful and thankful for my mother. I love her dearly.

I call my mom every day to make sure her emotional, mental, and spiritual life are intact. My mother and I have walked through drifts and tribulations together. She has built a strong young man. I look at my mothers pictures almost everyday because we are all we got. I want to be just like her because she is a great mother and grandmother.  I’m so grateful and thankful for my mother. I love her dearly. I have learned that I must go after my goals to make my family proud of me. They would be surprised by my goals of growing old with all my family, getting to a point where I am financially secure, and they would be amazed with my advanced technology projects that I must finish. My goals keep me up and energized, not ever giving up.

Every month, a physical envelope arrives at your door, postmarked from San Quentin Village, California. Inside, you will find original artwork, writing, and recipes from real contributors, along with a personal letter from me, Diane Kahn, founder of Humans of San Quentin, about the people who made them. You read it. You keep it.

Every piece comes from someone serving a sentence. Every piece reminds you they are so much more than that.
