Assistant Warden, Lee Colson, suggested asking the Corrections Foundation for help. At the time, I never even thought of it. My financial situation was not at the top of my list of priorities then. He made sure the necessary paperwork was filled out for the request and filed. I was surprised at how quickly the Foundation responded. Until you are in a situation such as mine, you don’t realize how much it means for someone to extend that helping hand. To all of you who donate to the Corrections Foundation, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You were there for me when I needed it the most. Suprenna Ard, Recruitment Supervisor, Lancaster C.I. |
