Support Rafael Nephew's Journey to Redemption

Donation protected
Hello Everyone!

Today, I am thrilled to share an inspiring tale of resilience, redemption, and the pursuit of a new beginning. Meet Rafael Nephew Bankston, a remarkable individual who, at 41 years old, has triumphed over the challenges of spending the last 23 years behind bars and is now on a profound journey to rebuild his life.


Having known Nephew for the past 7 years of his incarceration, I can attest to his incredible character and unwavering spirit. This individual is nothing short of amazing.

Nephew embarked on this journey at the tender age of 18, making his transition back into society a critical phase as he endeavors to rediscover life on his own terms. Despite the daunting obstacles he faces after serving 23 years of incarceration, Nephew's determination and unwavering commitment shine brightly as he strives to navigate the complexities of reentry into a world he has long been disconnected from.

As Nephew sets foot on the path toward a brighter future, your support can truly make a world of difference. This campaign aims to provide vital assistance to Nephew during his first 60 days post-release, offering him the resources and opportunities essential for a successful transition.


Together, we can empower him to break free from the cycle of incarceration and embrace the freedom to build a life of purpose and fulfillment.

Our fundraising goal is set at $20,000 and the budget below outlines its allocation. It will sufficiently cover Nephew's 60-day initial transition period.
Here's how you can join us in making a meaningful impact:
  • Donate: Every dollar you contribute holds the power to transform Nephew's journey. Your generosity will directly support his access to housing, educational opportunities, and essential living expenses as he embarks on the path to rebuilding his life.
  • Spread the Word: Share this fundraiser far and wide across your social media platforms, through email, and within your network. By raising awareness of Nephew's journey, we amplify the collective impact we can make together.
  • Offer Encouragement: Leave words of encouragement and motivation on our campaign page. Your positive messages serve as pillars of strength for Nephew, empowering him to overcome any challenges that lie ahead.


By rallying behind this campaign, you are not only helping one individual reclaim his life but also championing a broader movement for criminal justice reform and advocating for second chances. Let us stand united as a community, demonstrating to Nephew that he is never alone in this transformative journey.

Your compassion, generosity, and belief in the power of second chances are sincerely appreciated. Together, we have the opportunity to create a lasting impact on Nephew's journey toward rebuilding his life and forging a future filled with promise.

Thank you for your support and belief in Nephew's journey. Your contributions, whether big or small, are invaluable stepping stones on his path to redemption and renewal.
