HELPING FATHERS REBUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR KIDS
“One day, I'm going to be out of this place. And I want to be able to give back the same way that I have received ... to be able to give gifts to someone else's children.” —Reggie
In 2022, the number of Prison Fellowship Angel Tree® applications at the Dick Connor Correctional Institute in Hominy, Oklahoma, tripled that of the previous year. A prisoner named Reggie played a big part in this increase. He knows firsthand the emotional pain faced by incarcerated dads.
“It's hard being a parent behind these walls. You're not there when they really need you,” he says.
Reggie is the proud father of two boys and two girls, ranging in age from 10 to 20. He was happily involved in their lives until a criminal conviction led to his incarceration in 2015.
"Because of my flawed decision-making skills, I was removed from that their life,” Reggie says. “Next morning, they wake up looking for Daddy. Daddy's gone.”
