Project Guiding Light
Creating pathways toward healing, recovery and opportunity for individuals, families and the communities around them.
Healing and Hope Should Be Available to Everyone
That includes people who are, or have been, affected by incarceration.
Too often, people in the justice system are living with untreated mental-health conditions and substance abuse, without the support they need to move forward. Lavon Davis saw this firsthand, and it shaped the mission behind Love-On Life.
The project works to raise awareness, connect people with recovery resources and ongoing community support, and engage the wider community to promote understanding, compassion and lasting change. When people have a real path forward, entire communities grow stronger.
