The resurection of a brand

What must I do to resurect the brand; HOODWRITTENS? It seems almost impossible without the necessary connections.. ie finances. It seems that all folk with what is known as a checkered past are not givin the same support by those who have overcome the stigma attachted to a criminal history. Having the knowledge of what it took to get past the naysayers and detracters seldom do they reach back and help others faced with the same circustances. What happened to each one teach one or being your brothers keeper? Have we become so tied up with personal accolades that we've forgotten the less fortunate?
