Last week, we sat in a room filled with people asking an important question:
What happens after incarceration?

At the "Redemption After Incarceration Symposium", sponsored by Goodwill and Path2Redemption, one thing became clear; it’s often not someone’s past that keeps them stuck…It’s the cost of moving forward.

A simple fee.
An ID.
A court-related expense.
Expungement fees.
Pardon fees.

Things many of us wouldn’t think twice about can stop someone from getting a job, securing housing, or rebuilding their life.

At Rainy Day Fund, this is where we step in. We help remove those financial barriers so people have a real chance to move forward.

Because we believe something deeply:
💛 Second chances shouldn’t depend on someone’s ability to pay.

We’re out here in the community learning, listening, and doing everything we can to better serve those who need it most. Now, we’re asking for your support.

Midlands Gives is happening now, and every dollar helps us say “yes” when someone needs it most.

👉 Give today
👉 Share this post
👉 Be part of someone’s second chance

Because redemption shouldn’t come with a price tag.

Hundreds of nonprofits will ask for support…But only ONE in South Carolina is doing what we do.

Rainy Day Fund removes the financial barriers tied to legal challenges; the ones that quietly keep people stuck.

Big problems don’t always start big.

Sometimes it’s:
• A $50 fee
• A missing ID
• One unpaid cost

And suddenly everything changes.

At Rainy Day Fund, we step in before that moment becomes a crisis.

Because prevention isn’t just helpful, it’s transformational.

We’re building something different.
Something long-term.
Something that changes how support actually works.

We’re looking to connect with partners who believe in sustainable impact over time.

Let’s start the conversation.
