Vanessa, an incarcerated mother in Texas, shares with us how impactful Prison Fellowship Angel Tree has been for her daughters.

"I am so grateful for the financial support from Angel Tree. Without them, there was no way my household could afford to send two daughters to camp. They both stated what a supernatural experience they had in these retreats—especially on worship night. Both of my daughters have grown so much in their faith, have begun serving in their community, and have gotten baptized. Jesus truly reaches kids at these camps ... best decision I have ever made for them as a parent."
