Projects
Letters of Hope
Letters of Hope is a Back2Life Project initiative that gives Veterans and Incarcerated Individuals a safe way to share their stories and receive supportive mail from the community. Profiles are posted for one year, and people can freely choose who they want to write to. While we do not match or guarantee penpals, we provide a respectful, encouraging space that helps reduce isolation and build human connection—one letter at a time.
Hands of Hope
Hands of Hope Studio is a creative program where participants can explore arts and crafts as a way to build confidence, reduce stress, and express themselves. Through simple, hands-on projects, we offer a supportive space for personal growth, connection, and hope—one creative moment at a time.
Back2Life HopeCast
Back2Life HopeCast is the official podcast of the Back2Life Project, sharing real stories, meaningful updates, and voices of hope from Veterans, incarcerated individuals, and their families. Each episode shines a light on resilience, connection, and second chances. It’s a place where we open doors, restore hope, and bring humanity back into the conversation.
Project HopeForward
Project HopeForward is our ongoing donation campaign dedicated to opening doors for veterans and the incarcerated. Your support helps us provide connection, resources, and pathways toward a brighter future. Every contribution moves someone one step closer to hope, healing, and a second chance.
