My name is Mae Hughes, and I am the founder of 2nd Chances 4 Felons. I started this organization out of my own journey and struggles as a felon determined to rebuild my life.
When I tried to turn things around, I searched everywhere for real support—asking for guidance, visiting agencies, and combing the internet—yet I found little to no true help. Time and time again, I sat in interviews explaining how much I had grown and changed, only to be rejected because of my past. No matter what I did, people could not see beyond the label of “convicted felon.”
At my breaking point, I faced a choice: give in to frustration and anger, or transform my struggle into something greater. I chose the second path. Instead of letting my situation defeat me, I decided to create a resource—not only for myself, but for others walking the same difficult road. That’s how 2nd Chances 4 Felons was born.
This organization exists to remind people with records that opportunities do exist—that giving up is not the answer. My mission is to reduce the number of individuals who lose hope simply because they believe no help is available. Everyone deserves a chance to prove that change is possible, not just through words, but through present actions.
I earned my Associate’s degree in Business from the University of Phoenix in 2012, and as a mother, my children remain my greatest motivation. They are the reason I strive to do better and be better every day.
My prayer is that 2nd Chances 4 Felons will continue to be a source of guidance, encouragement, and opportunity for those who need it most. To anyone facing these struggles, know this: your past does not define your future, and you are worthy of a second chance.
With hope and determination,
Mae Hughes
Founder, 2nd Chances 4 Felons
