Instead of serving out his entire sentence, Mr. Avery (an individual
under our supervision) was released early on parole. Shortly after being
released, he was able to secure a job working construction. Mr. Avery
reached out seeking assistance with getting some tools for his job. His
boss told him that he had to find his own tools and to stop sharing with
the other crew members. Mr. Avery said he didn't care if they were used,
he just needed some tools to keep his job.
Tonya White, Lead Community Coordinator for the Northeastern Circuit,
reached out to her Steering Team and asked if anyone could get some
used construction tools. The Northeastern Steering Team and
community rallied together to purchase Mr. Avery all new tools for his
job. This is a wonderful example of the purpose of the steering teams
and how building community relationships can assist with fostering the
continued growth and success of those who are transitioning from
incarceration.
