I continue to be inspired by my friend Jon Ponder and the great work being done by Hope for Prisoners (H4P). He knows about the challenges of reentry first hand and works hard to help others make that transition. He and his dedicated team have found ways to keep their dream alive, struggling to raise funds, inspiring the Las Vegas community to give his graduates a chance, and passionately telling others about the advantages of offering second chances to those who had earned the right to seek them. Today H4P is recognized nationwide for the work they do: from White House proclamations to invitations to tell his story in cities all across America to an upcoming concert by Wynona Judd in support of their efforts. Jon has never let anyone limit the dream he gives to the men and women who graduate from H4P’s program each month: that of making the rest of their lives the best of their lives. Follow your passion today.
