There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them."  - Dr. Dennis Waitley
 

In 1998 through early 2005, Christine Smith provided thousands of prison inmates nationwide with hygiene basics/necessities they were otherwise deprived of. Over those years, she was able to:

  • publish an interactive newsletter comprised of inmate's prose , poetry and artwork which was written by and distributed to prisoners across the country .
  • furnish children's visitation/meeting rooms in prisons with children's books, toys, and furniture
  • provide thousands of female inmates with items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, lotion, shampoo, soap, stationary and greeting cards .
  • provide incarcerated women with Christmas gift packs of hygiene items and chocolates .
  • give inmates' children nationwide Christmas items (Christmas gifts of toys and new clothing) and helped the grandmothers who were often caring for the children to have Christmas trees, Thanksgiving & Christmas dinner, and needed baby care items such as diapers .
  • provide thermal underwear and socks for cold prisoners; and electric fans for those in very hot climates/prisons .
  • be involved in helping a life & death situation where a number of prisoners lives were in jeopardy due to inhumane treatment and illness .

In addition to assisting prisoners and their children, she was also able to:

  • provide Native American children (on Reservations) with clothing and toys
  • help nursing homes, homeless shelters, and post-surgical centers with requested items for those they serve
