This wraps up the year!

December 4, 2024

First of all, I would like to extend my gratitude for all of the support this past year, from guests, to online trainings and meetings, emails, letters, phone calls, & ZOOM meet-ups.

This past year has certainly been busy with 26 Episodes of the Prison POD being added to Prison tablets across the country! I would like to thank EDOVO for making this happen! You can listen to these podcasts on YouTube – while you are there I’d love it if you would “Like, Share & Subscribe”! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBsIouxvPau8_33h3XevzQWSPEmQNhlFl&si=Wl8qL-Fp59SnNELf

The North Carolina Field Ministers podcast “Changing Lives, Changing Culture” has been recording in various facilities in North Carolina. We have recorded with several men, 17 episodes, and you can find the recordings here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBsIouxvPau8v7LCGgcNBs6obJ7wj3_gY&si=c5kx9kl_Aa1N_uNp I would like to thank Dream.org for their support of this project!

Now, an update on your host…September 21st while doing yard work I took a fall and broke my wrist. I really wanted to make up a story like “I was skateboarding with my grandchildren” or “I lost my Karate match” (LOL) but I just felt funny lying about it. Worse of all, I had warnings – the roommate said “I thought you weren’t doing yard work today”; my answer “I just want to get these vines down…and down they came along with me! I had just thought, “I should go get the hedge trimmers and cut this, but it is the last one. So fist day of Fall, started with a fall! Needless to say, this has slowed me down, and I have not been able to do much of anything on a computer with a cast, along with the now constant ache with the cast removed. It is getting better…slowly.

Prison POD was able to raise funds this year to provide several facilities with commissary boxes; a total of $500. was used to send commissary to units in California & North Carolina, along a box to Maryland. We paid for 1 month tablet time for 4 individuals ($50. each) and I was able to deposit $275. to cover my text messaging to facilities across the country.

Last, but not least – Prison POD Productions still needs $1500. to wrap up the year. As you can see from all the work I do, the funds will be put to good use. If you can spare even $10.00, it all adds up and pays the bills. All the projects, other than the North Carolina Field Minister podcast, have run on donations and prayers! I appreciate all of you; thank you for your support. https://gofund.me/b0eb765b
