It takes all kinds of equipment, including trucks, for us to be able to build homes throughout South Hampton Roads. Having community partners like , the and .co support us through their generosity means we can use your donations towards keeping our homes affordable.
Yesterday, UVAIP client Messiah Johnson, who was conditionally pardoned in 2018, spoke to the Rotary Club of Norfolk. The opportunity was particularly poignant because Messiah's wrongful conviction for armed robbery occurred in the city of Norfolk. Messiah and Associate Director Juliet Hatchett discussed his case and UVAIP's work more broadly. Messiah served over 20 years for crimes he did not commit. His advocacy for the wrongfully convicted and our work is inspiring!
Hello,
Could you possibly be looking for a way to increase funding?
Here is an opportunity to create a fund-raising effort that is continuous. Before you "round file" this message, consider the possibilities of providing help to your members, friends and family. Don't waste another day with muscle or joint discomfort.
Despite some negative feelings about CBD Oil, it does provide a useful benefit. There are millions of users of CBD products because it aids in reducing and relieving pain. Cannabis oil (CBD) can also ease anxiety and depression, prevent epilepsy, minimize acne, and improve overall heart health.
Once a user discovers the benefit of CBD Oil, they very likely will re-order creating a continuous flow of purchases. Also, since it does work, they most likely will recommend it to friends and family members.
If this holds interest for you go to:
https://secure.cbdpure.com/affiliate/join/NTP/-1/486732 to check out CBD Pure various products and the Affiliate Program! Consider this, a hefty commission is earned (40%) while helping users rid their pain. Legal in all states.
If you are not interested in the income opportunity but, want to learn more about the product, go here:

Yours in success and health,
