Support Valentino Dixon

On September 19, 2018, Valentino Dixon walked out of prison, having just been exonerated after serving 27 years of his wrongful conviction. Millions of people around the world have been inspired by his story of resilience, faith, and artistic talent. (For some of the extensive coverage of Valentino's remarkable journey, read the New York Times and watch the Today Show.)

Many people have expressed interest in buying Valentino's art, and he is in the process of setting up a reliable website  and mechanism to sell his work and share his story. Valentino has a bright future as an artist, public speaker, and social justice leader--but it will take some time to set up his business and for him to hit full stride.

In the shorter term, Valentino could benefit from support for everyday life expenses in his first few months of freedom. Although he has been exonerated and can now rebuild, it is important to remember that he emerged from prison with no resources, and his family--who also endured his 27 years of wrongful imprisonment--has limited means.

If you are inspired by Valentino in any way (as a gifted artist, a golf visionary, a future leader, or just an incredibly strong and positive person), and if you feel moved to contribute to Valentino's short-term stability and success, we thank you for your support.
