HFP Staff
MARK HARTMAN
Executive Director, President
I believe in humanity for everyone. My approach to this work is informed by the lived experiences of 12 years behind bars, walls, and fences in Michigan prisons. We are in the business of assisting those who request our help, active listening, reading their requests for assistance, affirming the human dignity of each client regardless of reason(s) for incarceration, offering compassion, empathy, and understanding, and by simply upholding the intrinsic worth of every person we serve. It is a privilege and an honor.
SUSIE GREENBAUER
Office Manager
I find joy and meaning in using the empathy I have always had to help others. I believe in our mission in delivering compassion. We don't know what people were born into and the shaping that took place for them as a child. We are not here to judge, but to help make the world a little better with kindness.
SARAH EBIDON
Volunteer Manager
My personal experience in the criminal justice system, my education in legal studies and criminal justice, and my passion for prison reform led me to HFP in 2021. I am extremely passionate about our mission, and I look forward to continuing our work by ensuring that incarcerated people and their families know that they matter regardless of their circumstances.
