Testimonials

On July 29, 2026, Edgar appeared before the California Board of Parole Hearings and was found suitable for parole. Below is a letter he wrote to share the wonderful news to our founder to express his gratitude for her support:

❝ I truly believe this moment would not have been possible without the incredible support, encouragement, and faith that so many people placed in me. Thank you for taking the time to write a letter of support on my behalf. Your willingness to speak about my character, growth, and potential meant more than I can ever put into words. Knowing that people believed in me gave me strength throughout this journey.

Over the past several years, I have dedicated myself to rehabilitation, education, accountability, and personal growth. My goal has never been simply to leave prison, but to become a better man, husband, father, son, and member of my community. I am grateful that the Board recognized the work I have done and found me suitable for parole. Although I am still waiting for the completion of the post-hearing review process, I remain hopeful and continue to trust in God's plan.

When I return home, I do not plan to stop this work. I hope to continue serving others by mentoring justice-impacted individuals, supporting rehabilitation efforts, and helping people believe that change is possible. I want to give back to the same communities that invested their time, faith, and encouragement in me. 

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in me, standing beside me, and being part of this journey. Your support has made a lasting impact on my life and on my family's life. I will never forget your kindness, and I look forward to thanking each of you in person one day. ❞

With sincere gratitude,
Edgar Garcia
