Discharged But Still Being Punished

After the relief of being discharged from bankruptcy three and a half years ago, I still find myself in financial jail. This is in spite of the government telling me that I am free of all my previous financial obligations and the fact that I have paid up all my debts to every one of […]


22 Years of Friendship

Kristy, a staff member at AKLTG, was having a conversation with Lucy a month ago about how we’ve been able to stand each other for more than 20 years and hold our marriage together so many times in our tragic past when other couples would have given up for less. Her answers were no different […]
