Celebrating Francisco Mojica
The Community Forgiveness and Restoration Initiative (CFR) is honored to celebrate the life and legacy of Francisco Mojica, a dedicated life coach, mentor, and servant leader. Francisco’s journey is a powerful testimony of resilience, faith, and the power of giving back.
While incarcerated, Francisco devoted himself to service by supporting those in hospice care, offering comfort and compassion during their most difficult moments. Even then, he embodied the spirit of restoration and hope.
For more than 15 years, Francisco has been a vital part of CFR, and since returning home, he has continued to use his gifts to uplift and empower men and women who are reentering society after incarceration. As a life coach, he inspires others with his lived experience, his wisdom, and his unwavering commitment to helping people rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose.
This year, Francisco is being honored at the Philadelphia Library with a documentary that shares his remarkable story of transformation—from incarceration to freedom, and from struggle to leadership. His life reflects the very mission of CFR: forgiveness, restoration, and second chances.
We salute you, Francisco, for your tireless dedication and the example you set for us all. Your story reminds us that no matter where we come from, we all have the power to create change, inspire others, and build stronger communities.
