The program is centered around teaching self discipline through making and obtaining goals, using boxing and MMA as the medium. The money is used for equipment and building a safe space to train and socialize to keep kids from getting involved in gang life and the like. Ameba is a non-profit which helps inmates "behind the wall" in federal institutions who have no outside resources with things such as allowing them to purchase needed supplies, make phone calls and send emails family, and get some legal work done without having to be in debt to another inmate or owe someone a favor. Anyone who wishes to donate can mail a check to: Last Assault/Ameba, c/o Scrooge & Marley Investigating, PO Box 122, Hainesport, New Jersey 08036 or Venmo @ScroogeandMarley and I will get the money over to him.
