SUCCESS STORIES & TESTIMONIALS
Meet Jackie: Overcoming Her Past, Caring for Others
I grew up in a wonderful home with my mom, [Lake County Board Vice Chair Mary Ross-Cunningham], who led us to great things. But I got caught up with a party crowd and a lifestyle of substance abuse. I was in and out of jail 5 times for retail theft.
I decided to get help and become the person I was meant to be. Coalition Legal worked with me to get my record clear, and now I oversee a staff of 550 and make sure veteran women get the care they need through the VA hospital.
