Prisoners Donate to Fund for Victims
Furthering the reconciliation work that is initiated by the Sycamore Tree Project® (STP), Prison Fellowship Western Australia has set up a Victim Relief Fund that encourages prisoners to donate to crime victims.
PF also collects matching donations from members of the community. The
first beneficiary of this Victim Relief Fund is Ann, who lost her two
young children in a brutal homicide and has been a tireless advocate
for victims’ rights ever since. PF Australia’s STP facilitator Michael
Cockram presented Ann with a $1,000 (AUD) check, on behalf of the
prisoners of Acacia prison who made donations and contributors from the
Perth community, to support her research and her work in advancing the
cause of crime victims everywhere.
