Testimonials
80 strong Community Outreach (CO) has been a tremendous blessing in my life since my release from prison. They provided the basic things that I needed like hygienic items, clothing, even some financial support. It is hard for anyone returning to population to immediately adjust. One of the most important things that I feel like they gave me was moral and emotional support. That alone made my transition back into society less difficult. Often times we have burnt bridges and or severed ties with people that love and support us or those we should have never been in relationship with in the first place. Either way sometimes we find ourselves out here alone without any help that doesn’t come at cost that is not worth paying. 80 Strong (CO) also provided that place of safety were you know that you are surrounded by family and friends that truly have your best interest in mind. I have been home now for two years, through a job referral from 80 Strong (CO) I am now an Executive Assistant for another prominent non-profit organization in the city of Detroit. I cannot say enough of how they have been a blessing to me. As a returning citizen I often feel as though it is important for me to now give back to society in some positive way. 80 Strong (CO) has also provided that for me, they offer plenty of opportunities to mentor and or give back in different ways. I am so grateful for all they have done and are still doing in my life.
