Are you looking for ways to support others during this crazy time? At Determination, Incorporated we're crowdsourcing a newsletter to share with the men we work with at a KC prison that has been closed to visitors & classes during the coronavirus. You can help us write it.

[Determination, Incorporated @bizafterprison]

Last week we had to cancel our workshop at a KC prison due to the coronavirus. Visitations are cancelled too, and we're worried the men will suffer from isolation & loneliness. But you can help. Share your wisdom in our new GENERATE newsletter. Learn how: https://t.co/7Hg0Qu7Ko5

@MissouriRevenue @bizafterprison I finally got a hold of Nichole on the phone and she was able to help me out. She was awesome! Thank you!

@MissouriRevenue @MissouriRevenue I'm trying to setup MyTax for our nonprofit @bizafterprison and are unable to complete the setup bc of missing info. Dora told me to call 573-751-5860 but I can't get thru to a human to help. What should I do next? Thanks!

[Kyle J Smith @kjs_37]

Starting a nonprofit has its ups and downs, but it is an honor to serve the men and women who come to Determination, Incorporated for guidance, and to share how my family overcame hardship to become stronger and more compassionate on the other side.

3/4: & every time I messed up, every time my ego got in the way, every time my bullshit nearly knocked me off course, someone was there (& it was usually a woman) to say: "I see you. I see your mistakes, I see how tough the world is, I see your pain.'
