At Life Stories Child & Family Advocacy, we believe that every child should live a life free of abuse in a safe, permanent home. We listen to stories and advocate on behalf of children who have been abused and neglected so that our children will have a better tomorrow.
We promise to create a responsive community where every life story is honored and valued as we advocate for children and families with compassion and respect.
