To those of you who took the time to sign my petition and even donated money, words will never be able to explain my gratitude. You all have given me a sense of hope that I thought was long gone. I appreciate knowing that there are still good, open-minded and non-judgmental people who offer me support, hope and encouragement for my cause.

I am very grateful and blessed to have each of you advocating on my behalf. Thank you for not giving up, and for continuing to believe in me. I would like the opportunity to have a second chance at freedom. I’ve been in prison for 30 years and only been a number, and not a name. It has been very heartbreaking, but I’ve learned so much. I have become a better person; one that people can be proud of. The mistakes of my past do not define who I am today. Thank you again for your kindness and support. 

Warmly, Tamara
