HOPE FOR

WIDOWS

& CHILDREN

A Call for Healing and Transformation at JC books and more, we are built on a foundational belief: every individual—no matter their age, background, or past struggles—deserves the opportunity to heal, find purpose, and experience the transformative power of a second chance. We stand at the crucial intersection of vulnerability and potential, serving three distinct yet interconnected groups within our community

Our Mission:

Building a Cycle of Hope

JC Books and More is dedicated to creating pathways that restore confidence, strengthen families, and renew spirits. For survivors of abuse, we provide immediate safety, emotional support, and long-term tools for independence. For children, we offer creative outlets such as books, art materials, and expressive writing to help them process their pain in healthy ways. Through our prison ministry, we help incarcerated individuals rediscover purpose and prepare for reintegration into society. These efforts connect to form a cycle of hope—one that transforms lives from the inside out. Every step we take is centered on healing, empowerment, and lasting positive change.

Your Support

Creates Lasting Change

Your donation is more than financial support—it is a lifeline for those who do not have one. Every contribution helps a child express trauma through creativity, a woman find safety and a new future, and an inmate rediscover personal and spiritual growth. The impact of your generosity extends far beyond the moment of giving; it creates ripples that rebuild families and strengthen communities. By supporting this mission, you become a vital part of someone’s journey toward healing and transformation. You can make a meaningful difference today through our website or by mailing your tax-deductible gift. Together, we can continue this essential work of compassion and renewal.

Healing Children

Through Creativity and Expression

Trauma affects children deeply, and creativity becomes a powerful way for them to process their emotions. We equip young minds with tools such as books, art supplies, and writing resources to help them express feelings they cannot always explain. When a child paints, writes, or creates, they release pain in ways that promote healing and growth. Our programs encourage emotional resilience and give children a healthy space to transform hurt into strength. We believe their creativity is more than expression—it is a pathway toward recovery. Every child deserves the chance to heal, dream, and rise above their struggles.
