Spotlight Story: Dara’s Testimony

Dara, a family advocate, shared her powerful journey of overcoming homelessness and incarceration, which fuels her passion for helping others.

“If I’m not candid and transparent enough about myself, I can’t connect with the families I serve. They need to see that I understand their struggles.”Dara, Family Advocate

Her honesty fosters trust and healing:

“If you’re honest and doing the work, I won’t call CPS. I’ll connect you with resources to help you recover.”

Her story highlights the importance of nonjudgmental advocacy in breaking cycles of poverty.
