Kenny Lee
Kenny Lee recently got out of a 31-year prison sentence, a challenging period compounded by a diagnosis of cancer. Reentering society at 65 years old was not an easy feat. However, after receiving funds from the Denver Basic Income Project, Lee found crucial support during this transition.
“Without the support of Denver Basic Income Project, I just don’t think I would be in the position I am.”
The financial support of the Denver Basic Income Project helped Lee secure his own apartment, furnish it, and meet his basic needs, such as food, clothes, and insurance. Lee advocates strongly for the program’s expansion and hopes it will help others in his position.
“Denver Basic Income Project is such a necessity […] It’s heaven sent.”
