Local Media Coverage

Ladue News Article Rehabilitation Programs  "Second Chances" - May 6, 2010

Recently Let's Start has had some wonderful media support, both in the St. Louis Post Dispatch and on KSDK, Channel 5. Reprints of both of these stories are available. Heidi Glaus at KSDK did a story entitled "The Power of Hope" and Diane Toroian Keaggy wrote about a "Former heroin addict is finally 'Mom' ". Both stories reveal how the women of Let's Start have made changes in their lives and thus are making positive contributions to their families and the broader community.

Thanks to the Ladue New for recognizing Let's Start as one of the organizations supported in their Charity edition. Let's Start was one of three organizations to receive $3000 to support our work with women and children impacated by the criminal justice system.
