Inaugural year

What we did

A Father’s Day reunion, years in the making.

In June 2026, The Ladies of Hope Ministries, in partnership with REFORM Alliance and Kim Kardashian, provided $1,000 grants to 50 incarcerated fathers in the Federal Bureau of Prisons so their children could travel to visit them for Father’s Day.

For some fathers, it was the first time hugging their children in years. For others, it was meeting a child they’d only known through phone calls. Every visit was a reminder: fatherhood doesn’t end at a prison door.

“This visit was everything and more. She got to see her daddy. It’s been a long time. Everything was great, and it meant a lot to all of us. Thank you so much, and thanks for being such a blessing to my family.”

Why they applied

In their own words.

Pulled from the applications of fathers who shared what this visit would mean before it happened.

Jada · FCI Coleman Low

Time apart: 5 years
Children: 5 children

“For the past five years, I have not had the opportunity to see my five children in person. The distance and financial burden have made visitation nearly impossible. Being able to see my children would remind them that their father has never stopped loving them.”

Pedro · USP Atwater

Last visit: 8 years ago
Distance: 1,826 miles
Incarcerated: 29 years

“I have been incarcerated for 29 years and have not seen my daughter in 8 years. I would love an opportunity to hold my grandbabies and visit with my beautiful daughter. Alejandra’s mother died when she was very young, so she has had no parents to raise her almost her entire life.”

Kenneth · FCI Bennettsville

Distance: 600 miles
Incarcerated: 27 years
Children: Adult children

“I have been incarcerated for 27 years. The distance of 600 miles creates a significant burden for my family. Although my children are now adults, the connection between us as father and children remains essential and irreplaceable.”

Jerome · FCI Bennettsville

Distance: 600 miles
Time apart: 10 years without a visit

“After going ten years without a visit, I was finally able to see my children last year, and that experience renewed my hope and strengthened our bond. This support would help make another visit possible.”

Jamarian · FCC Coleman Low

Last visit: 5+ years ago

“It means so much because I have been forgotten about, and that lets me know that there are people in the world who still care.”

Bennie · FMC Devens

Distance: 1,100 miles
Children: Daughter Ryleigh

“My daughter Ryleigh is growing up fast. Watching her reach these milestones from afar has been one of the greatest challenges of my life. Every opportunity to maintain and strengthen our bond matters.”
