Original Friends - Women's Prison Project

I have written several times about the dolls that Rebecca and some of the other inmates have made in the last year and a half. They are beautiful and each one is unique. Rebecca has gained her freedom, of course, but the Original Friends doll project continues and is a lasting example of the spirit of a woman drawn to make the best of an impossible situation.

There is now a web page where you can go to find out even more about how this doll project came about and personal infromation about the women that are involved. Go to Original Friends - Women's Prison Project to see the page.

As for Rebecca...

She is enjoying her freedom and has been to visit her mother and sons, as well as other family members. She is enjoying those visits, but is also anxious to go back to Mexico to resume her life and get her home back in order.

Life presents paths as we move along and Rebecca is looking for her path to follow. As always, she will make the best of whatever path she follows.

If you would like to know more about what she is up to and communicate with her, you can go to her Facebook page at Rebecca Roth and ask to be her "Friend."

I do know this much about her intentions...

She would like to acquire a car here, in the States, to drive back down to her home in Puerto Vallarta... not because she wants to make the drive, but because cars are less expensive here than down there and value-wise, it makes sense to her. If there is anyone out there that has a car to sell at a very reasonable price ($5K or less) to this lady in need or anyone that would like to donate a car for her use, it would certainly be appreciated. If so, please contact her and let her know. She will be in the Seattle area around the middle of June and leaving from here.

This may be my last post on this blog as I intend to turn it over to Rebecca to maintain when she arrives for her visit. So, check back as time goes on to see what she has to say and feel free to post comments and words of encouragement to her.

I want to thank all the readers of this blog for their support of Rebecca Roth in her time of need and for your encouragement to me along the way. Hopefully, we made a difference... together. I think knowing that all of you cared did make a huge difference for Rebecca.

Again, thank you!
