“I know my calling is helping people, and I really have a high passion to help kids that went through the same [experience] as me.” —DaMarius
Growing up, DaMarius Harp felt one thing was certain: Having a parent in prison made him different. For the first eight years of DaMarius’ life, his father was incarcerated.
“Why can’t Dad come home? When’s he going to come home?” DaMarius would ask, his cheeks stained with tears.
DaMarius and his two older brothers lived with their mother in Kalamazoo, Michigan. His grandmother often took him to see his father behind bars, but long, snowy Michigan winters made travel difficult at times. When visits were scarce, DaMarius looked forward to phone calls with Dad.
As the only parent at home, DaMarius’ mom worked hard to provide for her three boys. But their father’s absence was a void she couldn’t fill.
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.
