John —
In 2004, Darrill Henry — a father of two young children — was wrongly convicted for the murders of two women in the 7th Ward of New Orleans.
Last year, he was finally freed after the court ruled new DNA testing in his case established his innocence. After spending nearly 16 years behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit, Darrill was reunited with his now fully-grown children.
His fight to clear his name isn’t over. But while he’s waiting on the district attorney’s office to make a decision in his case, he’s already started rebuilding his life.
In the past few months, he’s found a job to support himself, moved into his own home, and is reconnecting with family that he was separated from for far too long. But a key part of establishing his newfound freedom and independence is being able to get around on his own. And right now, he doesn’t have a car to get him to and from work in the late hours.
So for the holidays, we want to make sure Darrill has everything he needs to succeed. Will you pitch in to Darrill's MightyCause right now to help him continue building his new life?
