Impact
Allison lost custody of her children years ago during a period in which she was addicted to drugs and in and out of prison. She came to CGLA while in the process of getting clean, hoping to get her children back.
After more than a year of working with our staff to stay clean and put her life back together, a judge finally agreed to return custody of her children.
