ANDERSON — A non-profit in Madison County is working to change the lives of teen girls one day at a time.
"So when I meet them and talk to them I share my story," Watkins said."I want them to know that there is more to life than crime.” “So for me to say, 'Hey I was once your age I made that same decision,' and offer them a different alternative is awesome,” Veronica Watkins said. “I haven’t really been around my dad much and I live with my grandmother – so really, I’ve just had my grandmother my whole life. She has been my mom and dad,” Lagle added.
