Janie’s Angels and NBA Foundation Partner to Support Incarcerated Mothers and Families
Janie’s Angels, an organization founded by Angelica Zaragoza, is working to support incarcerated mothers and their families through a partnership with the NBA Foundation and the Dallas Mavericks. The organization aims to provide these mothers with a second chance to reconnect with their families and reintegrate into their communities after release. Since its inception, Janie’s Angels has hosted annual summer camps and events that offer children a safe space for healing and growth. These camps include activities like horseback riding, canoeing, and arts-and-crafts, designed to help children navigate the challenges they face due to their mothers' incarceration. The NBA Foundation's grant has enabled Janie’s Angels to expand its programming, with hopes of extending its impact beyond Texas to a national level.
