Support Gene Franco's Fresh Start

Hi! I am Anne Franco and this GoFundMe is for my brother, Gene Franco. He has been in prison since 2018. He went into federal prison a completely different person than I had ever known him to be. He went in lost. He went in aimless and on the wrong side of the law. He is the son of an American veteran of 20 years. My dad wanted his legacy to go on and do great things. Because of good behavior, he is leaving prison in April 2025 and going to a halfway house. That's where you guys come in, I hope. He got saved in prison. Not just "prison saved" but REALLY saved. He needs this to ensure he doesn't go back in, and the halfway house has given him a list of needs. Needs our family cannot meet without your help. He needs:

Cell Phone and Activation plus Six Months Service (their choosing) = $500

New Clothes and 1 pair of new shoes = $400

Incidentals and Food (6 months x $100/month) = $600

Transportation--Motor, Scooter, or Bike = $1500

Total Needed: $3000

My mom and I do our best to help him out, but I am a single mom and she is a widow. My dad passed away on Christmas Eve 2019 in a car crash. We need your help to ensure he has the best chance of staying out of prison and resuming normal civilian life.

"I would pay it forward with donations to churches or charities, or even helping someone I know that is in need. I'd pay that in a few hundred a month until I've repaid the love offering amount and if God provides a way and I pray He does, I'll keep doing it even after passing the total." Those are his exact words.

He was baptized on August 25, 2024.
