Receipts and transparency are core to how we handle PayPal donations. Donors will receive an automated receipt from PayPal to the email address on file as soon as the transaction completes. In addition, Just Convicted — What We’ve Done Since issues our own official donation receipt that includes the donation date, amount (gross and net after fees), PayPal transaction ID, and the designation provided by the donor. Expect our receipt within a few business days; if you do not receive it, contact us via the Donations section on our site. We reconcile PayPal donations weekly and publish periodic financial summaries and an annual report on our Transparency page so donors can see how funds are used.
Support Our Work — Donate via PayPal
How donated funds are allocated and practical donation steps and safety tips. Our current undesignated-fund allocation policy applies donations where needs are greatest: program needs for community and reentry services, inmate support for commissary and communication assistance, and legal assistance for casework and counsel referrals. Donors may restrict gifts at the time of donation; restricted gifts are applied only to the stated purpose. Simple steps to donate: click the Donate via PayPal button, enter or select an amount, add a note if you want to designate the gift, choose your payment method, confirm the payment (do not send as Friends and Family), and save your PayPal transaction ID for your records. Safety tips: always confirm the paypal.com URL and HTTPS security, do not share PayPal passwords or verification codes, do not send payments to unofficial email addresses claiming to represent our organization, and keep your PayPal receipt. For questions about receipts, designations, or to verify a donation, use the Contact or Donations page on our website.

Thank You — Donor Testimonial
On behalf of a family we served here in Columbia, United States, the team at Just Convicted — What We’ve Done Since offers a heartfelt thank you. Your timely contributions preserved essential communication between a detained loved one and their family by providing prepaid phone minutes and postage for letters and video visitation. That direct connection kept children and caregivers emotionally supported during a stressful court process and allowed important updates to flow between counsel and family members. Your generosity also covered immediate household needs while the primary earner lost shifts—groceries, short-term rent assistance, and a utility payment that prevented an interruption in services. Those basics reduced the family’s day-to-day crisis burden so they could focus on critical next steps rather than immediate survival. Critically, donor support funded an initial consultation with a local criminal defense attorney in Columbia. That consultation clarified plea considerations, outlined realistic options, and gave the family the confidence to make informed decisions about representation and planning. In practical terms, your donations turned uncertainty into actionable next steps and helped the family access legal guidance they otherwise could not afford. We are deeply grateful for contributions that produce concrete outcomes: restored communication, stabilized household needs, and funded early legal advice. If you value these results, please consider sustaining your support through a recurring gift, sharing our work with friends and colleagues, or joining an upcoming community briefing in Columbia. Continued partnership allows Just Convicted — What We’ve Done Since to replicate this impact for other families facing similar challenges. Thank you for standing with families during their most vulnerable moments. Your compassion creates measurable change and keeps families connected while they pursue justice and stability. — A family served by Just Convicted — What We’ve Done Since
