Ivan Ewing
To give Ivan Ewing a second chance.
Why is this important?
A little background on Ivan Ewing. Ivan is 35 years old and he comes from Nashville. He also has a beautiful 4-month-old baby that he has never met, Ivan Jr. I am his (wife, GF, fiancee) Heather; we have been together now for (years, months).
When Ivan was arrested, he was charged with tampering with or fabricating evidence, possession/manufacture with intent to resell, criminal trespassing, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Ivan is pending an 8-year sentence for the crimes that were committed. He is fully aware of what he has done and that is was wrong. Ivan wants to do the right thing. He wants to live the right way and be there for his family and show them how life should be. Ivan wants to be the role model that his son deserves to have.
Ivan Jr. is currently only 4 months and has never gotten the chance to meet his daddy, not to see or be held and loved by his dad. Ivan Jr has been through a lot since he was born.
Ivan Jr was born prematurely. They had to do an emergency C-section to get him out because the labor cord was not in the right place. They believe that it is possible that he may have had a stroke before he even came out. He cant hear and has only partial eye sight Baby Ivan will have to have surgery to repair a bulging part of his brain. He has alot of medical needs and needs both of his parents to help care for him
I want more than anything for Ivan Jr to know his daddy and for his daddy to know him; to be a part of Ivan Jr's life, to help raise him.
I know typically family isn't taken into consideration with the deciding vote. I completely understand that; I just ask that you try and take us into consideration.
Ivan Jr and I are currently living out of a family shelter, trying to get back on my feet with our son who needs special nurses and around the clock care. This is very difficult for me as I am doing this all on my own. I don't have family to help and nowhere else to turn. I didn't want to live on the streets, especially with our son; not to mention the special treatment our son needs. This isn't something easy to admit but I can't do this on my own.
I am aware of his actions and I know what he did was wrong. However, I have seen so much of a change already in him.
I am not asking for sympathy, I just ask that you take us into consideration as you decide whether or not he should be paroled.
