This is the story of one of our clients. Her journey to criminalization had an all too familiar pattern: after a lifetime of living with abuse, violence and hardship, she thought she had found solace through drugs. Instead, she found herself in a small jail cell. Today, she is a mom, university student and aspiring lawyer. Please watch her story and learn how E Fry helps women rebuild their lives. To empower a woman to be the mom she wants to be, please visit https://buff.l...y/2PjYZ5m #NoMotherLeftBehind
