EYES OF THE BROKEN is a movement that provides minorities impacted by Incarceration, Unemployment, Homelessness, and Broken Homes with opportunities that have been taken away from them. That includes the opportunity to be free, whether it’s Spiritual, Mental, Financial, or Physical Freedom—Eyes of the Broken provides a pathway that helps individuals journey towards it.
OUR MISSION is to help people incarcerated Spiritually, Mentally, Financially, and Physically break free from the broken systems in society by equipping them with the tools necessary to become the solution to their own personal problems and the problems in society.
OUR VISION is to create a world where everyone can experience abundance and be free—a society where mass incarceration, unemployment, homelessness, and broken homes are no longer a persistent problem.
