Donations
Why do we need your help?
Although we are a FREE site, donations are needed and welcome. We do not believe in NOT LISTING an individual in prison because someone will not pay to have him listed on a site. We will always offer our site as a FREE site, BUT the cold, hard truth of the matter is that we pray daily for donations to help us with our mission. Your gifts help us help more Chrisitans on the inside.

What are your donations used for?
- WEB HOSTING & DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION - We would like a much better site but right now our funds are limited and we are using a free hosting site. We would also like to register a domain name but we have limited funding
- NON-PROFIT STATUS - We are in the process of becoming a registered Non-Profit Corporation but it takes money. We are actively working to raise funds to accomplish this.
- STAMPS - Stamps are the lifeblood of our mission. We mail letters weekly and require stamps to get them to our Christian friends.
- OFFICE SUPPLIES - Envelopes, paper, and misc office supplies are always needed.
- STATIONARY & GREETING CARDS - We like to send birthday and holiday cards to our Chrisitan friends.
- PRINTING & PUBLISHING COSTS - We would like to use artwork and poetry from our Christian friends to raise money for our mission
- ONLINE STORE - We would like to set-up an online store in the future to sell books of poetry, artwork prints, bookmarks, greeting and notecards created by our Christian friends.
- GAS - We do try and visit those Chrisitan friends that are housed locally or within a 1 days drive of our offices.
- POSTAL MAILBOX - It costs about $60 a year for us to maintain a P.O. Box with the USPS.
