The Purpose
#TheCallOfImpact is a call to action challenge designed to spread awareness about the silent struggles children with incarcerated parents face. The financial burden families face daily makes it significantly harder for children to consistently communicate with their parent(s) while incarcerated. The Call of Impact will not only provide the resources needed for families impacted by the justice system, but it will also give individuals who are not directly impacted a glimpse of the emotional phone call Pure Heart Scholars experience every day.
The Goal
To provide funding support for children of incarcerated parents to stay connected with their parents through phone communication, in person visits, video visits, letter writing and provide family reunification services that will preserve, develop, and improve the relationships between the child, caregiver and their incarcerated parent.
