The handwritten letter above is one of many REAL letters that we received from incarcerated Muslims. It reads:
"AsalamuAlaykum,
I would like to thank you for sending my children Eid gifts. They thanked me and were very happy. Ironically, I did sign up for Angel Tree to be able to send something and they made it too difficult to get gifts. They required my family to attend a Christmas party and they opted out for obvious reasons. I said to myself, 'Why isn't there Muslims who give gifts," and a few months later, my wife told me about you. May Allah bless your efforts and make all of you successful."
Through our Muslim Toy Chest program, we put a smile on the faces of the children of incarcerated Muslims by providing Eid gifts.
EMPOWER:
We provide referrals to prison staff and incarcerated Muslims' families who reach out to us for assistance. We also provide religious items where requested.
EDUCATE:
We replace the worn-out, outdated donated books in prison libraries. We'll send out high-quality literature for incarcerated Muslims; books that will transform their souls and their impression of the Muslim community outside.
Muslim Prisoner Project is founded by Tricia Pethic, a seminary-trained Muslim chaplain with experience in the guidance and instruction of Muslim inmates in federal and state prisons.

Ex-prisoner Greg wants to hear from YOU during his LIVE Q&A! ALSO: Launchgood offers us a 50% match!
Salaam alaikum valued supporters!
Two bits of exciting news!
1) If you forward this email to a friend, and they donate, they could help us win $2,500 from Launchgood!
We can help hundreds of prisoners with that money! All we need to do is raise $5000 before Eid and Launchgood will give us a 50% match! Allah Akbar!
2) Tomorrow you'll get to speak with Br. Greg Sierras LIVE on Facebook. Follow our page so you can tune in for a little lunch break inspiration!
Greg is so grateful for donors like you---it's because of you that we have the funds to send books, mail books, purchase books, and keep up with prisoner correspondence by letters and---most importantly in the case of Greg--on the tablet!
When a tablet is all you have in solitary confinement, it means the world to you.
So thank you for forwarding this email to a family member or friend. A few moments could make all the difference for us!
Yours in service,
Chaplain Tricia Pethic
An update from your trusted charity---Muslim Prisoner Project!
salaam alaikum past donors,
We want to thank you for your support. Can you tell us what's missing from this picture?
....A Quran for those who need it! :-)
We are currently running our annual #GivingTuesday campaign and this year our theme is "A Quran in Every Jail:"

Read more here. And take a peek at the thank you note from a jail chaplain we served:
Meet us online in one hour! StayHome-A-Thon with Muslim Prisoner Project
Salaam alaikum Donors! Ready for some inspiration? Some sense of community? Some positive stories? In one hour we will go LIVE on Facebook for our StayHome-A-Thon! Click here to be notified when we start:
https://www.facebook.com/events/611627066084941/
We will share statistics on Muslims on prison, we will show off some of the items we send as Eid gifts to the prisoners' children, and we'll share some actual excerpts from mail we have received from our brothers and sisters in prison.
Be sure to say salaam and ask us a question! Thank you again for giving your sadaqa to us. WE take the trust you have in us very seriously.
The Team at Muslim Prisoner Project
Thanks to your donation, we're halfway there. Can you spread the word?
Salaam alaikum!
On behalf of our entire team at Muslim Prisoner Project, we want to thank you for your recent donation. Our campaign is almost halfway to our goal of $10,000. While we have a major media push underway, there's no substitute for word of mouth.
Would you mind sharing this email in your networks? We want all Muslims to know that we are THE nonprofit devoted to the children of Muslim prisoners. Eid will not go by without us giving a gift to them on behalf of their incarcerated mom or dad.
Please visit us at www.muslimprisonerproject.org and be sure to subscribe so you can be kept aware of our progress. Remember: we are investing in our future neighbors, both in the streets and in our prayer ranks. Let's let them know that that the mercy of Allah is always there, and that we---the Muslim community---are here to be part of that journey.
May Allah bless you and yours,
Chaplain Tricia Pethic
CEO, Muslim Prisoner Project
