Our final episode highlighting the amazing men, women, and kids at the first ever Rise Up Con event in Sevierville, TN., just outside of Knoxville.

Meet Jared Moon, from Proverbs 22:6 - his organization helps to reunite incarcerated men and women with their children. Their purpose is to heal these families and support them while most people turn their backs. The heart of their process is rooted in the 4 E's which are to: Encourage, Engage, Educate and Empower.

As Jared said during our conversation, "We bring the humanity back to the human that's behind bars."

Fun Side Note: Jared Moon had a booth next to ours on Day 1 of the event. We quickly got to talking and we became instant friends! He and another representative from his organization will be visiting our facility in Clearwater, FL. to have a longer, more in-depth discussion about what Proverbs226 is doing to help reunite families.

Meet Laura Klassen, founder and director of Choice42, a Christian, Anti-Abortion organization. Choice42 is pro-women, pro-baby and pro-life!

They are based in Canada but their reach is worldwide. Laura is also known as an anti-abortion influencer with some fantastic content on YouTube, just look for the pink wig!

Choice42 website: CHOICE42 connects online with abortion-minded women from all over the world and helps them to cancel their abortion appointments. With the help of our supporters, we are able to provide emotional and practical support to women to empower them to choose their babies.

And lastly, meet WWE Bros superstar Lucas.

Lucas visited the Strong By Design booth several times and after receiving lots of free gifts spinning our fun prize wheel, we encouraged him to join us on the show for a few minutes. He and his brothers are huge WWE wrestling fans and have a fun YouTube channel. He was a delight to speak with.

Both Jared Moon and Laura Klassen are fighting for our children, kids like Lucas. All life is special and matters, we must continue to do anything possible to save our children.

"Children of inmates don't know that their parents love them." -Jared Moon
