Help and Hope Systems 

Help and Hope Systems is a two-prong attack, one on educating people about finance and the other in reducing the number of DWIs.

Financial Hope System

Components of my classes in “Hope, A Plan and Confidence”.

The way I see it three of the most important things they need to have is hope, a plan, and confidence. I achieve those things by teaching them:

1.Teach inmates how credit cards rip them off.

2.Teach them how to do job interviews.

3.Teach them how to set up and market their own company.

4.Teach them how to find the money to start a business.

5.Teach them how to avoid debt and why that’s so important. 

6.Teach them about renting vs. buying.

7.Teach them how to pay lower taxes.

8.Teach them about IRAs and 401ks.

9.Teach them the 4 ways to make money.

10.Teach them the difference between good debt and bad debt.

11.Teach them how to claim the right number of withholding allowances.

12.Teach them how banks make money.

I believe that finance is a major factor in recidivism. If they leave prison with a lot of useful information then they can make better decisions. If they leave with “hope” their chance of success are increased. Teach them to be proud of themselves and take pride in supporting their family.

Help and Hope Systems

Help and Hope Systems understands the importance of addressing the issue of drunk driving and aims to provide a solution that removes financial barriers. By offering free Uber rides through the purchase of Uber gift cards, individuals can contribute to the cause while also benefiting from tax deductions. Whether it is a friend, family member, or someone in need, these gift cards can be sent as a thoughtful gift, declaring themselves or anonymously. In addition to individuals, we also extend our services to restaurants and bars. By selling tax-exempt cards to these establishments, they can distribute them to their staff, who can then offer them to impaired patrons. This not only helps prevent drunk driving but also reduces insurance costs for these establishments, ultimately boosting their business. Through our efforts, we believe we can make a significant impact in reducing recidivism rates and easing the burden placed on families when a breadwinner is imprisoned due to a DWI conviction.

Our plan will offer help to people with a disease but it will also save many lives.
