Spotlight

“[My boyfriend’s] been incarcerated for four years, and during that time, I had only seen him five times. Since I started using this bus, I’ve been able to see him every weekend. It’s been such a relief for him and for me because I get to see his face more often, and we don’t have to worry about transportation. I would definitely encourage people to sign up. Your loved ones truly appreciate it. The smile on their faces when they see you walk in is the best thing in the world. The staff are kind, the ride is comfortable, and you even meet new friends along the way. It makes the whole experience feel less heavy.”
