J-6 wife needs support and prayers

Our dearest brother, Ron Mele was present at the events in DC on January 6th, 2021. He had an unfair trial like many J-6ers, and was wrongly sentenced to 33 months in prison. He went to court a few days ago for sentencing and unlike most J-6ers, wasn’t allowed to go home to tie up loose ends before having to report to prison. They took him immediately into custody. He wasn’t even allowed to say goodbye to his sweet wife Elly and his 2 step children. Elly is now  left to save their home on one income. As a strong Christian family they have always put others’ needs first—now that they’re in need, we are asking for help for them during this very difficult time. Anything you give will help with their mortgage and any other household needs while Ron is away, and would be very much appreciated. God bless you all!

Update #18

July 1st, 2024

We have a win! 

Thank you Jesus!!! 

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has overturned the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) use of 1512(c)(2), a statute pertaining to obstruction of an official proceeding, in cases related to the events of January 6th (J6).


This ruling signifies a major win for those political prisoners. 

There are a still a lot of loopholes to get through so please pray for Ron and other J6ers that everything goes smoothly and they drop the 1512 c charge. 🙏🏼

If so Ron could be home by the end of the year. 

God bless y’all 

Elly Mele 

Update #17

June 27th, 2024

Hello

Those of you that sent cards to Ron some have been denied. Ron said it depends on the officer on duty that day. So I guess it’s best to write a letter. 

Ron has received many books, letters and cards. He wanted me to thank you! He said he always looks forward to getting mail. He feels the love 💕 

Some of you asked me if Ron needed Commisary. Yes, he does that way he can purchase the items he needs each month. You can send him money through https://www.westernunion.com

Ronald Mele 49805-509

Anything helps🙏🏼 

What is Commisary?  

A prison commissary is a store within a correctional facility, from which inmates may purchase products such as hygiene items, snacks, clothes, writing instruments, etc. Typically inmates are not allowed to possess cash; instead, they make purchases through an account with funds from money contributed by friends and family members. 

Thank you for your continued support and prayers. 

God bless you 

Elly ❤️

Happy Birthday to my amazing husband Ron. He has received many letters and birthday cards. Thank you so much for making him feel special on his birthday.

Thank you, Jesus for giving my husband another day of life. 

God bless you all and thank you for your continued prayers, love and support. 

Elly 💕

Update #15

June 13th, 2024

So yesterday I found out that Ron is at his final destination, which is Oakdale Louisiana. He will not be transferred to the good old state of Texas. It’s about a 6 hour drive for me. I know that God has him there for a reason. 🙏🏼

Thank you for all your continued prayers and support. 

Today is a hard day for me. I’m missing him a lot. 🥺

God Bless y’all 

Elly ❤️

Update #14

June 12th, 2024

Pray warriors we need your prayers!!! 

I just found out that the Supreme Court will make their decision regarding the 1512 c charge within the next 48 hours. 

If this charge goes away many political hostages will be released from jail. 

As for Ron all his felony charges will be dropped. He then will only have to serve time for his misdemeanor charges. 

The judge gave him one year for the misdemeanors. If Scotus rules in favor of the people, Ron’s attorney will request a resentencing from the judge. 

When I spoke with Ron yesterday, he received some mail. He was so excited he said he stood there by the mail cart like a kid in a candy store. Thank you to all who sent him a letter or birthday card. 

Many blessings to y’all

Elly ❤️

Update #13

June 6th, 2024

Ron was recently transferred again to Oakdale, Louisiana. He does not have a designated area as of yet so he may be in Louisiana for a while.

Ron told me he does like it there and he is able to have rec time outside.

He said the transfer was brutal 😞 I cannot go into detail here. I am just so grateful that he got through it. God was definitely with him giving him strength and peace through it all. 

Ron’s birthday is June 21 so let’s flood him with letters showing our love and support for him. 

Here is the address.

Good morning ☀️ 

Ron is now in Oklahoma at a holding center. 

 I haven’t heard from him yet but hopefully I hear from him soon. 

Please pray that he will be transferred to Texas soon. 

God Bless 💕


Update #11

June 4th, 2024

Ron was transferred today. Please pray for his peace, strength and comfort during this transfer. I don’t know where he will end up until he gets there. I will do another update as soon as I find out. 

Thank you all for your support and prayers. I made my first mortgage payment since Ron has been gone with all your donations. I am so grateful God has been providing for our family during this difficult time. 

Thank you

God bless ya’ll

Update #10

May 23rd, 2024

Ron is doing well. He is still in Philadelphia. It could be another couple weeks before he is transferred. Please pray that they will transfer him to TEXAS soon so I can visit him. We miss Ron so much. We are a family of four so when I cook dinner, I bring out four dinner plates every time then reality sets in…. he won’t be here for dinner for awhile 😔

Last night, I watched a documentary that just came out on May 18 called THE WAR ON TRUTH it brings awareness to what is happening in our country regarding January 6, definitely have a box of tissues in hand.  

It’s only $7.77 to watch it online.

Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. 

God Bless

Update #9

May 14th, 2024

Ron is still in Philadelphia and doing good. He gets up at 5 AM every morning for chow time. He told me he has been working out everyday and he feels great. In the evening they have a daily Bible study. There is a pretty rough guy with tattoos all on his face that walks around with an attitude who popped in on the Bible study then walked out, 2 minutes later he came in with his Bible and sat down! Everyone prayed over him and he walked out with a different attitude! PRAISE GOD!! God is doing amazing things!!!

Ron told me there is a possibility that he could be moved on Thursday. The next location would be Oklahoma so most likely they will put him on a Conair flight to transfer him. 

Thank you for your continued prayers . 


Update #8

May 6th, 2024

 I’m so relieved it has been six days and I finally heard from Ron. 

He’s still in Philadelphia in general population with his co-defendants, Derek and Erik. 

Tony was separated from the group to a different section of the prison. My husband told me not to worry that they are out of their cells most of the day. The food is much better there, he eats three times a day. He also has a good cellmate from the Dominican Republic, Ron said he’s the best cellmate he could ever ask for , he’s very clean and doesn’t speak any English so Ron is teaching him English and he is helping Ron with his Spanish. Ron said everyone is super cool there and they all get along and everybody works out together. There is no segregation between races. I feel God working in all ways through Ron’s journey. Thank you so much for your prayers. We really appreciate your donations it takes a lot of stress of me and my family during this difficult time. 

Ron told me he was the corn hole champion at the J6 pod in DC. 😂He  misses all the guys there. 

Ron sends his love to y’all 💕. 

God Bless you 

Elly 

Update #7

May 3rd, 2024

I haven’t heard from Ron in the past few days but I found out that he was transferred to FDC In Philadelphia. 

I don’t know how long he will be there or when he will be transferred again but most likely he will go to Oklahoma next.

Pray requests 

Please pray for Justice and freedom for all J6 prisoners and their families. 

Pray that Ron will soon be here in his home state and the transfer goes smoothly for him. Please pray for his health, safety and that his body and mind stay strong in the Holy Spirt. 

Thank you 

God Bless ❤️ Psalm 71

Update #6

April 30th, 2024


I got a phone call from my husband today and he said medical came in and took his temperature and bloodwork, that means he’s being transferred. I heard he possibly could be transferred to Oklahoma for a month and then transferred here in Texas. We will not know where he will land in Texas until he is actually there , please pray that he ends up in Bastrop Texas. The closest federal prison to our home is Bastrop. It’s about two hours. I may not hear from him for a couple of days or weeks. Please pray that this transition goes smooth for him. Please pray for me that I have peace because I feel anxiety, not knowing where he’s going to end up. I just have to release my fears and trust in the Lord with all my heart.. ❤️ 

God bless you all 💕

Update #5

April 29th, 2024

I spoke with Ron on Sunday he said he had his first church service. They also have weekly Bible studies. He also received a Bible from one of the inmates.🙏

He says it’s like a brotherhood in there and everybody shares their commissary.  He was telling me how awful the food is so he is really looks forward to getting his commissary which comes once a week. During rec time, he is able to go outside so he enjoys playing corn hole. 

I spoke with him today and he seemed a little down, which is to be expected. I told him to keep his eyes on Jesus and it’s normal to have off days, especially when your freedom is taken from you. 

I am having a hard day today, missing him a lot. This weekend is our daughter’s Prom and he will miss it. It makes me sad that many families are torn apart for being there that day on Jan. 6.  

I feel for all of them especially the ones who have kids and they can’t be there to watch their kids grow up. So much time lost 😞 

My son and I mowed the lawn together and edged, it’s not easy. While edging we took a few chunks out of the grass, I swear it’s like art work trying to get that fine edge. I am sure we will have it down by the time my husband gets back. It was nice having that quality time with my son.

I will have another update as soon as Ron is moved to his home State. 

Thank you for your continued prayers and donations.

Galatians 2:20 

We are forever grateful 😇

April 27th, 2024

Ron was on a YouTube channel last night April 26th talking from the DC jail. The channel is called Northern Neck Patriots (@nnpatriots) if you fast forward to 1:22 min you will hear him speak. 

Please pray for all the political prisoners some have been treated horribly and have been locked up now for over 3 years without a trial. 

Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. Heb 13:3

Thank you all and may God Bless and work throughout your lives as He has done in mine! All glory and praise to the mighty God we serve. 

God bless 

❤️Elly Mele 


Update #3

April 26th, 2024

Good news. My husband Ron and the other men were moved to the J6 pod today.

Praise God, we thought they were going to be in protective custody for at least two weeks.

He said when they walked into the pod the other J Sixers greeted them with Commissary and were very welcoming. He said the place is very clean and he has his own room with a window. They also have TVs in there and games.They are also allowed to go outside.

I can sleep better at night, knowing he’s in a better place than being in a cell 23 hours a day with one hour of rec time. 

Thank you for your continued prayers and your donations.

God Bless ❤️

Update #2

April 25th, 2024

Thank you all for your prayers and donation’s. Ron called me today and he was very concerned about me. I told him about the givesendgo, he was so incredibly grateful and he wanted me to express his sincere gratitude for all your generosity and prayers. 

Ron expressed to me that he is locked up 23 hours a day with one hour of rec time. He said it is also very noisy so that is hard to deal with. The food is awful, but sometimes tolerable. He gets his commissary next week so he’s really looking forward to that. Please pray that he gets moved to the January 6 pod within the jail very soon for they have a lot more freedom there. They sing the National anthem every night at 9:00 in the J6 pod. If you would like to stand in solidarity with them at 9:00 and say the national anthem with them here is the link to watch it live on YouTube you can find the nightly vigil @ 4ashliJan6Vigil, they read the roll call at 8:45 every night of all the incarcerated individuals. Mickey Ashley Babbitt Mom holds the vigil every night along with other Jan 6 wives and husbands in honor of her daughter and all those who lost their lives that day.

Please pray that the Supreme Court will rule in our favor in June. If so my husband’s felonies will drop and he may be home at the end of the year. 

Many blessing's to all of you. 

Thank you for all your continued support and prayers. God always wins.

 I am incredibly grateful for your donations during this difficult time. My husband was the sole provider for our family. He has been gone now for 4 days and I miss him dearly, my 19-year-old son really has to step up now and help me with the lawn. My husband did a lot around the house. Your generosity means the world to me because I want him to come home to the home he knew before they took him away.
I heard from my husband Ron yesterday. He and his codefendants are still in protective custody, in DC. They may be moving them to the J6 pod in a few weeks. They may be there for 3 months before they transfer him to Texas our home state. 
Please keep them in your prayers.
God Bless ❤️
