The Montana Innocence Project is seeking support on behalf of our client Katie Garding. This summer, Katie hopes to participate in a guided backpacking retreat in Whitefish, Montana. Our goal is to raise $2,000 to help cover the costs of this experience for her, including retreat fees, travel expenses, and necessary gear.
This immersive retreat is designed to foster healing and rejuvenation, providing Katie with an opportunity to reconnect with nature and herself. Over three enriching days, Katie will embark on hikes to Doris Lake and Doris Peak, while also engaging in daily practices that promote healing and growth, such as stretching, meditation, and journaling.
As Katie awaits the next steps in her fight for innocence, she believes that this trip will offer her a sense of peace and freedom. Katie shared, “The whole time I was incarcerated all I could think about was getting back into the mountains and being free. I think that this trip would really signify that I’m no longer in prison, even if I’m not completely free.”
Your generous support can profoundly impact Katie’s healing journey after wrongful conviction. Please consider making a contribution today.
