Stress Reduction for Prisoners by John "Chicago" Zurawski

Stress Reduction for Prisoners by John "Chicago" Zurawski

Hello everyone, My name is John Luke Zurawski. I am reaching out to you all with an urgent and heartfelt request to support my father, John Anthony Zurawski, who has been incarcerated for 25 years. Despite the challenges, he has demonstrated remarkable resilience and rehabilitation, and now he needs our help to reenter society successfully.

A Little About Us: I was raised by my grandparents in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, as my father served his sentence. My grandfather, a Deacon, and my grandmother, a teacher, instilled in me values of compassion and dedication. Sadly, both have passed away, leaving me with the responsibility to support my father as he reenters society. My father has always been a constant presence in my life, maintaining our bond through countless letters and phone calls, even from behind bars.

Why We Need Your Help: My father has made extraordinary efforts towards his rehabilitation. He has been accepted into a Master's Program in Colorado for Therapy and is collaborating with the University of Arizona on a book project. His book, focused on stress reduction for prisoners, will be available for purchase and aims to provide valuable insights and techniques to help inmates manage stress and improve their well-being. This GoFundMe campaign is specifically to help pay for and sponsor his time at the Master's Program for Therapy. By becoming a licensed therapist, my father hopes to transform the lives of other prisoners, using his education and personal experience to make a positive impact. With your support, we can provide him with the financial stability and resources necessary to succeed outside of prison. We aim to cover expenses such as: - Housing and basic living costs - Educational expenses for his Master's Program - Communication tools and technology to help him stay connected with family and support networks - Job search and employment support

Our Commitment: Our family, including my fiancée and her family, are fully committed to supporting my father emotionally and financially. We believe in his potential and are prepared to offer a loving and stable environment for his reentry.

How You Can Help: Your contributions will play a crucial role in ensuring my father's successful transition back into society. Any amount, big or small, will make a significant difference. Together, we can help him rebuild his life and achieve his dreams. Additionally, purchasing his book once it becomes available will not only support his efforts but also help spread his valuable message of stress reduction to other inmates and their families.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your support means the world to us.

Sincerely,

John Luke Zurawski
