From: Sent: To: Subject: Victoria Fear Friday, May 5, 2017 10:12 AM Sharon Savoldy;Carrie Q. Soubal Denise Moon - suggestion Good morning ladies, Hope the Denise Moon review is going well so far! On Wednesday, I attended Exchange for Change’s spring graduation and I am still consumed by the experience – I can barely think of anything else. I have worked with Kathie Klarreich in the past to try and strengthen her Denise Moon proposals, but Exchange for Change’s work is simply not well aligned with any of our current categories. Despite this (and the resulting low score from our internal review), I hope your committee may consider them for some level of funding. The work they are doing is so transformative for the inmates; I’ve now witnessed it firsthand and can attest to the power of the program. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information or context. Thank you!

It was quite an event on so many levels. I'm still recovering. I'm really glad you were there and also that you have a more profound understanding of our work. It's really the kind of thing that doesn't translate well but even saying that doesn't work. Love to brainstorm with you at some point about how we can hone our message. On a personal note i can't imagine finding more meaning in life than what i do. it's also so sad. what happened at the end yesterday is a fear i always have, that they will be removed and I will be shut out and then that's that, contact severed. Forever. You saw the emotion around our losing Luis to a medical facility. I'm still not over that. He was on the top of his game winning the contest and bam, gone, and by DOC rules contact should not be continued. I can't comprehend I may never see him again. Same is true, ultimately, for all of them. Just not right. 1 You can definitely send somthing to the guys through the mail, but if you want to send me something i can print it out and bring it with me tomorrow Totally your call. Thanks again, Victoria, for making the effort. It meant a lot to have you there. hugs, k On Wed, May 3, 2017 at 6:11 PM, Victoria Fear wrote: Dear Kathie, Thank you so much for today. Sending you a card with more of my thoughts, but for brevity – I am profoundly and forever moved. I would like to send thank yous to Dante and Chris for being especially welcoming and kind. Let me know if I can direct mail to the prison or should send through you. Thank you once again for the invitation; I truly had no idea what I was missing!
