John —

My mom, Rosa Jimenez, was pregnant with me when she was arrested for a crime she didn’t commit. When she gave birth in jail, she was only able to hold me for five minutes a day for just three days before they separated us, sent her back to her cell and that was it.

When I was 2, she was wrongly convicted and sentenced to 99 years in prison. I wasn’t able to hug her until just a few months ago when she was finally released after spending 18 years in prison — my whole life — for a crime she didn’t commit.

Now, after months of waiting, we are finally getting the chance to live together as mother and son for the first time. I’m so excited to make new memories together and finally get to know each other. I’ve already got a Walking Dead marathon planned for us — it’s a show I love and that my mother just started watching and already can’t get enough of.

Right now, we’re moving into our first house as a family, just in time to celebrate her first Mother’s Day home — but because she spent the past 18 years wrongly incarcerated, there are a lot of things she needs. Can you help make sure this Mother’s Day is a good one for my mom by checking some items off of our Amazon Wish List?

Thank you so much for the support. It really means a lot.
