To date, she has helped spare the lives of 230 girls and 14 boys through intensive rehabilitation programs supported by her not-for-profit, Circle of Friends: Celebrating Life, Inc., which she founded in 1999 “to bring women together to raise money and awareness and to dismantle the social injustices that render them more susceptible to violence and the criminal justice system.”
