"First coming out of prison is a very nervous feeling, but when you have a program like this to make you feel welcomed from the start, everything is ok. The EXIT Program helped me get on my feet and save money so that I was able to move out on my own within three months. I hope that this program develops more resources for job opportunities. It was a great transition for me and I really appreciate the program, Michele Johnson, and the chance to share my success story."

"My experience with NISRE, Inc. was birthed in the spirit of volunteerism, believing that I could sow a seed that someone else could reap. Since beginning this commitment to this particular population, who is often considered the lowest of God's creatures, I have not regretted my decision. What I enjoy most about NISRE, Inc. are the unexpected words of thanks given to me by the clients. For example, during the Christmas holiday, all of the clients in our counseling program were giving small tokens of appreciation (a Christmas card with a candy cane). Two of the clients were especially thankful. Each waited for a private moment to share the fact that they had never received a Christmas card in their entire life. That truly blessed me.

"I am pleased to have the opportunity to express my gratitude and support of NISRE, Inc. I received help with clothing, employment and even food in my time of need. For many, those simple things can mean the difference between freedom and prison. The staff at NISRE, Inc. meets the many challenges we face and more, with professionalism and concern for the success of the people in their care. More programs such as this one would benefit communities everywhere. I succeeded because of NISRE, Inc. and they have my blessing and my thanks.
