“[God] if this is what you have for me and I have to spend the rest of my natural life in prison, don't let it be in vain.”—Chanda
From her earliest days, Chanda's attitude toward life was simple: "It's me against the world." She was bullied for her weight as a little girl and got into fights. In second grade, she was kicked out of school for the first time.
But Chanda's childhood struggles were minor compared to being violated by her mother's boyfriend when she was 12—and the betrayal she felt when her mother would not stand up for her. Before she started 8th grade, Chanda was removed from her mother's home by child protective services and sent to a girls' home. Her
life spiraled from bad to worse as she started down a path that included running away and addiction to alcohol and drugs.
Men and women in prison are looking for hope. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles and Christian content is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today.
