A huge thank you to everyone who has donated to The Last Mile so far. We are really excited to see The Last Mile expand to more facilities and provide even more learning resources to the women featured here.

As soon as she opened her mouth I was like wow. She is very well spoken and intelligent.

I really think this lady is going to do really good things after she serves her sentence. Hopefully, there's the possibility of parole and she doesn't have to serve the entire 20 years. If a business owner in Oklahoma is watching this, hire her!

She is an amazing woman and I really hope she gets the life she deserves when she leaves

Beautiful soul. “I started this knowing my end was going to be better.” 😭

Omg! I cried with her. She had to grow up fast being 13 years old and dropping out of school to support her family. I wish her the very best. Stay strong, Queen....

I genuinely love this lady. You never realize how privileged you are to just have basic education. Her mother is more than right, She is a living product of perseverance! Life has a weird way of throwing specific situations at people based on their ability to handle things. Of course her situation is terrible but you can tell that she’s come to terms with it and takes full accountability for it. She isn’t going to let 1 mistakes dictate her life and it’s comforting to know that she is going to be okay. She is going to do great things. I’m excited to see what her future holds because of how much she has to offer this world and I hope she knows that god has put her on this path for a reason.❤️ lots of love to all the ladies down in the correctional centre

'give us the taxes and we'll become the taxpayers'- well put, well put.

[samanthad]

She made a mistake, but boy the way she talks, carries herself she’s truly intelligent!

[wendysgobbo]

What an amazing woman. This series has really opened my eyes to some of the women and how they really want to better themselves and their lives.
