Melissa’s story is one of courage, redemption, and hope. While facing addiction, jail time, and an unexpected pregnancy, her life felt like it was spiraling. But everything changed when she found support at LAPS and chose a new path forward.

Today, Melissa has now become an advocate for others and shares her story to encourage others who may feel stuck, afraid, or unsure of what comes next. 💛
