John ,

Coming home from prison after decades of wrongful incarceration is not easy — especially if you live in a state that limits compensation for that lost time.

Sometimes it can take years for people to fully adjust to life outside prison. And if you throw in a natural disaster or a pandemic, the transition is even more difficult — that’s where our Exoneree Fund comes in.

The Exoneree Fund was created to help support exonerees with necessities like health care and housing when they return home from prison, and right now it needs to be replenished.
Please, donate right now to help us provide resources to our wrongfully convicted clients: [[link removed]]

Throughout my years at the Innocence Project, I’ve seen so many clients come home and struggle to get their bearings. The complex trauma they have endured doesn't end with release. Having been in prison, even with an exoneration, still leaves people fighting through that stigma. The fund works as a bridge between prison and healing through a new, supportive life. We can help pay for their first year of housing, get them access to comprehensive medical and dental care, and connect them with a therapist.

That’s exactly why this fund is such a critical part of the work we do.

During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were even able to help former clients get the supplies they needed to stay safe and healthy and even secured hotel rooms so they could properly quarantine.

Making the lives of exonerees just a little bit easier after their time in prison is honestly the least we can do to show them support.

So please, take a moment right now and make a donation to our Exoneree Fund to ensure that we’re able to provide resources to our wrongfully convicted clients: [[link removed]]
