INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
"I didn't come to prison with the reserve of funds to pay my way through school, and I [had] no way to work for them in here"—Carai
When Carai was a child, he thought as a child, played and dreamed as a child. Now that he's an adult, he's put away his childhood dreams. And with the support of a Pell Grant, he's embracing a second chance for a new future.
"When I was younger, I was only good in athletics," he remembers. "As I got older and discovered a love for reading, I wanted to be an international business lawyer. I wanted to study history or philosophy and then go to law school."
However, one night in 2016 proved to be a tragic detour in Carai’s path. After bad choices led to a fatal car crash, he was sent to prison to begin a 30-year DUI sentence.
Valerie watched her son slide into a dark place after entering prison. "In the first couple of years, he was feeling hopeless," she recalls.
With such a long bid ahead of him, Carai needed a way into the bright future he once dreamed of. But how?
