Providing A Future
Sam’s STORY
After being incarcerated and falling behind on child support, Sam was unable to see his daughter. When she reached out to reconnect, Sam, now a full-time student, worked to create a stable environment and sought help from ALSC to request visitation rights. With ALSC’s support, he was granted consistent visits, which eventually led to joint custody. Sam’s story demonstrates that even in challenging times, hope can flourish through commitment and stability.
