eLockbox Program Could Protect Life-Saving Identification
Thanks to Fox 11 and Good Day LA for coming out to tell our story. Here's a sneak peek of the story which will soon be airing on your televisions! Obtaining and maintaining vital documents is a real problem that many people don't know about. Foster children move an average of seven times, and sometimes up to 20 times. Because of this, they often lose their records and personal identification documents. Living Advantage, Inc. is here to help youth get those documents and then keep them safely through our eLockbox program.
