Dear Gemma Project Community,

As many of you have heard me say before, our systems are not built to meet the unique and specific needs of women, and too often, their fundamental needs go unheard. Our success is a powerful testament to what happens when we offer the specialized, compassionate, trauma and gender-responsive care they deserve.

Your support has enabled us to grow our team and our impact this year. We are serving ten California counties and have grown to a team of 14! Our team is deeply committed to meeting our participants where they are to help them find their pathway to hope and healing. Whether it is building trust with a participant before release or helping her find stable housing and employment afterward, we are committed to supporting the women we serve every step of the way and helping her break the intergenerational cycle of incarceration.

With the many challenges we are facing in the world today, your support makes an immense difference. We also know there are many important needs for you to support. Your donation ensures that every woman who seeks The Gemma Project finds the support, hope, and community she needs to reclaim her life. Make your gift today!

With endless gratitude,

Cynthia Chase, Co-Founder & Executive Director

Lara Love Hardin, Co-Founder & Board Chair
