Suffering in Prison - is there anything you can do to help?

A Candle has been lit by Lumiere

Suffering in Prison
In Charity, one of the realities is that when a parent or parents go to jail, the children suffer. If the mom is pregnant, further suffering and indignity may occur. The practice of shackling of pregnant women and subsequent difficulties with childbirth is still of concern. Children suffer trauma and the poverty trap closes in on each little family. 

Charity workers and Prison Pastors/Chaplains are desperately needed all over the world. 

Perhaps Divine Providence has led you to read these words.
In the Spirit of Lumiere, is there anything you can do to help?

A Candle has been lit by Lumiere for all prisoners, their families, and for all who have been hurt by crime.
