Atlanta Fulton County Prearrest Diversion Initiative Inc (Policing Alternatives & Diversion Initiative (PAD))

Hello, we are a group of Morehouse College students inspired by the remarkable story of incarcerated men at FCI Atlanta who have demonstrated profound altruism through their charitable contributions. We are reaching out to ask for your support to match their efforts by raising funds for the Policing Alternatives and Diversion Initiative (PAD), an organization that provides crucial alternatives to arrest by addressing quality of life issues in Atlanta communities.

The Inspiration Behind Our Campaign:

In a remarkable act of giving, 85 incarcerated men at FCI Atlanta raised over $2,100.00 for the Policing Alternatives and Diversion Initiative (PAD). Despite numerous setbacks, including system glitches that twice resulted in their donations being refunded, these men persevered. Their final successful contribution was a testament to their dedication to making a positive impact, even from within prison walls. This endeavor continues a long-standing tradition at FCI Atlanta where incarcerated men have engaged in philanthropy dating back to the 1940s.

Why We Need Your Help:

PAD is an essential organization that works tirelessly to provide non-police responses to community issues like homelessness, substance abuse, and mental health crises. Your donations will directly support PAD's initiatives, enabling them to expand their services and impact more lives positively.

Matching Their Spirit:

Our goal is to match or exceed the $2,100.00 raised by the incarcerated men. Every dollar you contribute moves us closer to this goal and makes a tangible difference in the lives of many. It's more than just a donation; it's a stand against societal indifference, a step towards rehabilitation, and a powerful statement that those who are often forgotten are, in fact, unforgettable.

"By assisting others, we also uplift ourselves," shares Romail, a minister and driving force behind the initial fundraiser. This sentiment echoes through our campaign as we aim to transform not only our community but our perspectives on giving and rehabilitation.

Join Us in Making a Positive Impact:

We invite you to contribute to this inspiring cause and help us honor and continue the legacy of charity and community support that the men at FCI Atlanta have upheld. Let's come together to support the Policing Alternatives and Diversion Initiative and make a real difference. Your support is not just appreciated; it is instrumental.
