Let’s show support of Anna Tovtchigretchko the founder of the “UnLocked” project-- a student lead organization in the University of Maryland solely focused on providing support and resources to children of incarcerated parents. Asya ( as she is affectionately called by family) has secured a partial scholarship for her sojourn to Arizona this upcoming April 15 weekend for the National Conference of Children of Incarcerated Parents she now only needs logistical funds - and her goal is only 750$
As a way of background, Asya-my daughter was 9 when I went into the NYS penitentiary for a 5 year bid.
This horrific shared experience, as a mother and daughter bonded us, scarred us, made us love each other, hate each other, but whatever it did, it did it to both of us. She was also left with the uniquely painful, singularly isolating, shaming experience as a daughter of a mother she still loved was embarrassed to talk about, regularly visited and was confused as to exactly how she she should feel toward as there was no no one to talk to.
So instead of becoming yet another victim (albeit collateral ) of the criminal system she began Fueling her engines with the repurposed energy to constructively never let another similarly situated child have no place to go, no one to talk to, ask for advise, to never Be confused about how to feel towards their incarcerated parent!
