After suffering neglect from her drug-addicted mom and abuse by her stepfather, Samantha entered foster care at age six. She bounced around eight foster homes before she landed at an Uplift Family Services’ foster home.

After two years in foster care due to severe neglect at home, four-year-old Cassandra was able to be reunified with her mother. However, due to her early trauma, she had aggressive and dangerous behaviors.

Year after year they sought advice from one doctor after another, even some neurologists. Eventually, each doctor said they had done all they could.
