Here's More about Jamal:

Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is ask for help. But for Jamal Bakr, who has spent 23 years in prison, help has been the cornerstone of his survival—and now, it’s the foundation for his success.

Jamal’s story is one of resilience, redemption, and incredible determination. While incarcerated, he defied the odds, earning a Master’s degree. Now, at 41, he’s ready to take the next steps in his journey. Jamal dreams of earning a PhD in Practical Theology and giving back to the community by working at the Firehouse Community Arts Center in North Lawndale, Chicago—a place that transforms lives just like his.

But Jamal can’t do it alone. He needs our help to overcome the practical challenges of reintegration. From securing reliable transportation to work, to purchasing clothes, and covering education expenses, every bit of support will help him reach his goals.

Jamal’s story is nothing short of inspiring. Once a teenager entrenched in gang culture, he’s now a man determined to pull young people out of those same trenches and show them their untapped potential. Jamal believes that opportunities unlock greatness, and with the love and support of a caring community, the impossible becomes possible.
