This week, we had the honor of welcoming home several members of our community. We wanted to take time out to recognize each of them by name.

To Rodney, Jerome, Jorge, Ronald, Brian, Mary, James, Julian, Ryan, and Andrew ... Welcome Home! 🎉 So grateful to have shared your first moments of freedom together.

Thank you to our Welcome Home drivers that met each person at the gate, shared a first meal together, helped shop for essentials, and made sure they arrived safely where they needed to go. This is only the beginning.

We are a community and Bonafide will continue to walk alongside each of you as a resource, a guide, and a source of friendship, encouragement, and support.

Welcome home. We’re here for each of you every step of the way.

Welcome Home, Kendra! 🎉

In this month of second chances, we celebrate freedom, resilience, and new beginnings. After 25 years, Kendra is finally home -- stepping into a new chapter filled with hope, healing, and opportunity. Kendra's smile says it all. From the gate to breakfast, shopping to plenty of hugs and smiles, Kendra is free.

Kendra brings humility, kindness, and determination into this next chapter of her life. And as a skilled welder, the future is bright, and she’s ready to build it (or weld it).

Our heartfelt thank you to Asian Prisoner Support Committee and Tammy at Five Keys, Home Free. It takes all of us working together to help make moments like this possible. Thank you for being there for Kendra and supporting so many others in the great work you do.

Moments like these remind us that no matter how long the journey. that first step into freedom is something truly special.

Welcome home Kendra, we are honored to walk alongside you. Your story is just getting started.

Welcome Home, Warren! What a gift it was to be there for his first day of freedom after 28 years and to walk beside him in such a powerful moment. We welcomed him at the gate and celebrated with pure joy on the playground — swinging and laughing like kids again. His smile says everything. He shared that, "it felt like being back in elementary school with no worries, wrapped in the arms of grace." Thank you Laverne and Corey for making this possible.

We recently helped our new friend Richard get settled on his first day of freedom, and asked him to share a few words about the experience.

As Richard shares, sometimes just having someone by your side is invaluable. Support this work today by donating at the link in our bio. 💙
