What we did
In May 2026, The Ladies of Hope Ministries, in partnership with REFORM Alliance and Kim Kardashian, provided $1,500 grants to 50 incarcerated mothers in the Federal Bureau of Prisons so their children could travel to visit them for Mother’s Day.
For some mothers, it was the first time holding their children in over a decade. For others, it was meeting grandchildren they had only known through photographs. Every visit was a reminder: motherhood does not end at a prison door.
What follows are three of their stories.
In their own words, from their grant applications, before the visits happened.
Angeledith · FCI Waseca
Story one · Angeledith Smith
“Hugging my children for the first time after 13 years and 7 months was unbelievably unreal. They drove 28 hours from Warm Springs, Oregon to Waseca, Minnesota. I prayed while holding my babies’ hands. My children are now 18 and 19. The last time I held their hands to pray, they were 4 and 5. Their hands will forever be baby hands to me.”
Angeledith Smith
Story two · Roberta Bell
“I met three of my granddaughters, as the older two put it, in real life. I was able to see my baby girl, Jazzmin. I had not seen her in person in over 16 years. My jaws hurt from smiling.”

Story three · Angelia Miller
“Here are pictures from my visit with my mom Angelia Miller. Thank you for blessing my family with such an amazing opportunity. The visit was wonderful.”
Angelia’s daughter
“I wanted to share with you that I met three of my granddaughters, as the older two put it, in real life. It was AMAZING! My heart is overflowing. I can’t tell you how much the weekend lifted my spirits. I was embraced, even by the three year old.
I was blessed, and it was because of the grant that she, as a single mom, was able to make the trip. I am and will forever be grateful to LOHM and Dr. Topeka Sam for their Visit Mama Campaign, powered by REFORM Alliance and Kim Kardashian.
I was able to see them and hug them and answer all of their questions, and boy did they have a lot of them. That is just not possible when you are trying to share a 15-minute phone call or 25-minute video. I could still smell them hours after they were gone, and my jaws hurt from smiling. I’m still smiling, whenever I think about it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
