In a stirring display of compassion and humanity, over 30 incarcerated men from Lancaster State Prison’s Inside FUEL group have donated $479 to FA-MLI, Inc. to support families affected by the devastating Los Angeles fires. This extraordinary act, coming from individuals who earn less than $5 a day, is a powerful testament to the transformative potential of generosity and solidarity.
As covered in our recent press release, this donation represents an incredible sacrifice from these men, who have chosen to give back to communities in need despite their own challenging circumstances. Their contribution, facilitated by FUEL coordinator Geri Silva, sends a resounding message of hope, redemption, and the unbreakable bonds of community.
At FA-MLI, we are deeply moved and inspired by this selfless act. It reinforces our commitment to our mission of community restoration, youth mentorship, and cultural preservation. It also serves as a poignant reminder that change is possible when we come together with open hearts and a shared purpose.
We invite you, our supporters and community members, to join us in honoring the spirit of this donation by taking direct action to amplify its impact. Here are some ways you can get involved:
