We received the following update from an activist dad (incarcerated for his anti-NATO efforts) whose seven-year-old son received his first RFC grant this spring. This family’s experience is a perfect example of why we do what we do: “My initial application [to the RFC] was for a summer camp for my son to attend near his home. It was an amazing opportunity for both of us because not only was he provided with a summer full of boat rides, fishing trips, swimming lessons, and new friendships but I felt the joy of being able to tell him over the phone that I could help make that happen for him. I often feel completely helpless and useless in this cage when it comes to my son but my friends on various support committees and groups like the RFC help lift that daily burden in some ways by giving me the gift of hearing my son happy and excited about some new experience they provided. There are no words and no value adequate to place on that.”
